I am having a hard time believing that Benson actually is stupid enough to believe what he said. It is beginning to look more and more like he is intentionally creating a divide with statements he can hardly help but know are inflammatory and false.

What is particularly odd to me about Benson's teaching is it directly contradicts a practice set up by Witness Lee: separate Chinese-speaking meetings with their own set of elders, etc. I'm not sure if this is still the way the LC system operates but if it is at minimum his remarks are hypocritical.
