This is where Lee's handlers shielded him from the eyes of the saints. They were able to filter his misdeeds and spin them as spiritual. Being in the GLA, Titus Chu was able to characterize all those around Lee and screwups and rebels, while Lee's pristine image was always maintained as the "face" of the franchise.
To his credit, Witness Lee did live an austere, godly manner of life. Many testified of this. The problem is that his harsh condemnations of all Christianity was never challenge, and instead was viewed as "spiritual maturity." The way he treated the other leading brothers was contemptible, and yet that was viewed as profitable for their "perfecting."
Paul never treated others this way. The brothers around him witnessed the love of God displayed.
