Sure it was the latter, since neither of Lee's kids had any influence in the church without their Dad. I was only pointing out that with Timothy, Lee tried to make money in the market place, probably following Nee's pattern to some degree. After that series of failures, Philip emerged at LSM, and Dad embarked on new money-making schemes. I did hear once that it was Philip's idea to charge a training "donation."
Perhaps you know something about Lee's sons that can be added, like why would the church build him a house next to Witness? Did Lee have other sons? Were any of his sons in the least bit spiritual, or have any redeeming qualities?
