Quote: from Igzy:

The question is did he think his commission was on the level of Paul's. I'd say given the way he threw his weight around when push came to shove, he did. And there is no doubt many of his deputies and followers think this as well.

Quote: from AlwaysLearning:

If you follow along with the thinking and teachings of Benson Phillips, Ray Graver and those of their stripe, they considers such things as "not teaching differently" as applying to Witness Lee, i.e., don't teach differently than Witness Lee.

IMHO Witness Lee is regarded in stature and status as an apostle above Paul. His writings for the LC system are infallible, inerrant and authoritative and above the Scriptures as The Interpreted Word. LC system members may deny this at a superficial level because they know they should. But if you ask them (as I have done several times in this forum) what they consider as an error in his teachings they won't answer. And sometimes they just disappear and run away.

Albert Zehr Letter

http://www.ourneedtoexamineourselves...achingZehr.pdf

In a letter from Albert Zehr in 2001, he made several strong statements that reflect AlwaysLearning's sentiments. That was twelve years ago, after I had sent out my first writing, In the Wake of the New Way, seeking fellowship with former leading ones. This was Albert's second letter to me.

"...In their hearts these dear ones have elevated the teachings of Witness Lee and the doctrines of the recovery to be commensurate with the WORD.

"...The longer one is in this mode the more of the lifetime that has been built on it the more inconceivable it becomes that it might be a deception. Everything else is measured by this "vision" and nothing can measure it...

"When the Lord began to expose this "spell" in my life I was left in a place of confusion and despair. In this state the Lord brought me to the song, "On Christ the solid rock I stand, ALL other ground is sinking sand." I cried out, "Oh Lord, You and You alone are the only true and unquestionable reality in my life. I am willing to subject everything else to objective and sober discernment. Only after this could I love and appreciate Witness Lee and his teachings while objectively discerning his strengths and weaknesses and allowing them to be balanced by the Word and the teachings of other Godly leaders...."
