I admit to a limited view, and something of a bias. And I myself may posess little authority in either heaven or on earth. But to equate the authority posessed by the Lord Jesus Christ, as clearly evidenced in the Gospels and foretold in scripture, in any way with the 'deputy authority' of the talking head Witness Lee is a joke. And it was Nee's teaching, and precedent, that put a gullible flock and an open dias in front of Witness Lee and his cohorts. That is, to me, irrespective of how well-behaved some of Nee's other co-workers and disciples may have been.
