I have placed in italics the portion of aron's post I wish to emphasize. I can very well understand aron's point if your are referring to the late Witness Lee and his handpicked "blended brothers". However if you are referring to other brothers Nee had discipled, I say you're going too far. My perception of Stephen Kaung is a polar opposite of Witness Lee. A merchandizer? If any posters or lurkers have been to his Family conferences in Virginia or the West Coast Conferences held each summer, you would know his books are at little or no cost at all. A bully? Not hardly. Probably more one who hadto bear the cross from being bullied. Sychophants? That's a term I don't hear used apart from Obama's administration or LSM. Having been a junior to Witness Lee, Stephen by now must be in his mid-90's. As for other brothers Watchman Nee had discpled, I don't know much about them. My best estimate is when it came to teachings on deputy authority and the local ground, the late Witness Lee over-emphasized it as a doctrine.
