It is not that they were gullible or being taken advantage of, but that true light was shining and saints were singing “we are home, we are home, we are home!” The brothers were in a move of the Lord!

Witness Lee was like a man who omits major events on his resume and provides a key reference who cannot be reached because he is in a Maoist gulag. Meanwhile a reference like Samuel Chang remains mute and this no doubt had more to do with his culture than anything else. Of course the problem with lying by omission on a resume is that eventually things start to show up in the workplace and people start to take a closer look at the real you and finally do a background check which they should have done in the first place.
Witness Lee was "an apostle to John Ingalls and others..."? Really? Imagine if this "sent one" told them the truth: that actually he was not sent by the Lord to America to start the recovery but rather had become persona non grata in the Far East because of his financial shenanigans among the churches and was running away from the mess he created. What if he told the truth about how he handled the TAS issue and the situation in Hong Kong, etc. If he put that on his resume or innocents at the time like John Ingalls did a background check instead of taking him at face value I seriously doubt they would have joined up with Witness Lee to help him build up the LC system in America. And after dedicating their lives in helping him what did they get in the end when making legitimate inquiries into how "the work" was operating? Ridiculed and ousted. Just like what happened to coworkers in the Far East decades before. Different decade. Different country. Same Witness Lee.
