Albert finally realized that Witness Lee was nothing more than another Bible teacher out there who's teachings had to be carefully discerned. Contrast this with Witness Lee as the apostle, the one oracle, the MOTA and his writings as being equivalent to or above the Bible for those in the LC system.
IMHO the question for many who left the LC system is not whether Witness Lee is the apostle, oracle, MOTA etc. By the time they leave or soon thereafter they know that such ideas are nothing but poppycock. Neither is it about Witness Lee being so monstrous in his behavior that any good he taught and did should be discounted. Rather most (still interested in Christian things) consider that with so much teaching available out there and so many good churches to get involved with why bother with Witness Lee anymore? Who cares what he teaches? He's off their radar as being at all relevant to their lives anymore. A lesser number like Albert might use his material on occasion and discerningly in their Bible study.
