Again, Watchman Nee:
"Whether the one in authority is right or wrong does not concern us, since he has to be responsible directly to God. The obedient needs only to obey...Insubordination, however, is rebellion, and for this the one under authority must answer to God."
Notice how easy it is to slide from this to
"Witness Lee: even when he's wrong he's right." Turns out that God is a respecter of persons, after all.
