The bi-annual trainings are Witness Lee. The Full-Time Training is a two year "seminary" of Witness Lee. Many/most of the hymns are either written by Witness Lee or based upon his teachings. The entire culture of the Movement is based upon the person and work of Witness Lee. It is simply not possible that Witness Lee is/was a minor part of a member's experience.

I might add that whichever Living Stream Church local franchise you belong to, the leadership there is in lockstep with the leadership in Anaheim. The leadership in Anaheim lives and breathes by what "bruther lee said." That's just a fact. Even if Lee's name ceased to be mentioned by anyone in the Local Churches, he is everywhere. From the foundation up, Witness Lee in an integral part of every Local Church franchise.
