We don't need new words, when God's Words will suffice. It will be vey difficult for some to hear that they were or are involved in idolatry, but it is true. All the evidence is present.

Matt,
Years ago I came to the conclusion that there are many in the Living Stream Church who are addicted to Witness Lee's ministry. I concluded this based on my own observations, and from listening to testimonies of others.
One brother who left the LSM Church, while his wife remained in, relates this: He spoke of her deciding to leave "The Ministry" after having been informed of a lot of things she didn't know about how corrupt that organization is.
All seemed okay for a while. But then one morning at 2:00 A.M., she wakes up in a panic. She is literally having a panic attack. It is not until she reaches over and grabs her Witness Lee Version of the Bible and declares that she will return to "The Ministry," that "peace" comes to her. This didn't just happen once, it happened many times with this sister.
A brother in this kind of situation might be at a loss for words, as to how he should describe what he had just seen. Addiction was the only word that explained it all. This is indeed the behavior of an addict who has to have a fix to be brought back to calmness.
It is not too much to call this affliction "Leeaholism," even though the word does not appear in the Bible. Sometimes the only way to define a strange phenomenon is to coin a new term for what you see.
I believe there is a foul spirit associated with the ministry of Witness Lee, to some extent. I know that statement will not set well with many who read this. But I have no other way to explain some of the strange behavior of some of it's most ardent defenders. I also believe there is a foul spirit associated with JW's, Mormons, alcoholics, and compulsive gamblers.
Just my opinion, but I'm entitled to it.
