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.

Yes the misdeeds of PL and TL were shielded and I never learned of them until right before I left the LRC.
However, no one in the LRC, myself included, could argue that WL "served the Lord in all humility". This was open for all to see. Likewise, it may be that BP was blinded by his ambition to run a worldwide ministry, let the Lord judge on that, but we all to some extent or other considered ourselves "elite" Christians. It is just like the Lord said, we were invited to the feast and had the audacity to think we could sit at the head of the table, that was the sin we all need to repent of. Had it not been for that sin I doubt any of us could have been bamboozled.
