My criticisms have to do with how Lee handled the matter of his son Philip, once it was clear what he was doing, and how the future Blendeds circled the wagons around him, forsaking righteousness in favor of a man and his ministry. That's why I can't have respect for them now, and they've got nothing to say that I'm interested in hearing. Even their projection of the ministries of Lee and Nee are tainted and best avoided, as far as I am concerned.
As I have stated before, they have no truths of importance that have not already been delivered to the Church through other ministers. And some of their so-called "high peak truths" are nothing more than tomfoolery.

I completely agree.
I would never fault WL for his sons' behaviors.
But I also think it is completely fair to expose publicly how WL publicly smeared the reputations of all the godly men who approached him privately in order to deal righteously with with PL, the LSM "office" manager. Those who love and receive the ministry of WL need to know what WL did to other brothers (
Ingalls et. al.) who once served with him, just as all of us who love the Psalms know how David killed Uriah, and all of us who love Peter know that he denied the Lord 3 times.
It is extremely unrighteous, and contrary to the holy nature of God, that WL should be portrayed by his minions at LSM as some
perfected and flawless god-man, the latest in the lineage of "Ministers of the Age", and some supposed "acting God" on earth. I believe this false image of WL needs to be torn down and smashed, because it directly insults our holy God.
The Bible is fair to point out all the flaws of men, even the servants of God, while LSM has never been fair or upright. In this regard, LSM has been completely dishonest. They have elevated WL and canonized him in the eyes of all the "faithful." This insults our God, whose only Son is the only perfect Man.
