Witness Lee was a master at directing people's loyalties away from anyone but himself and his ministry. Eventually loyalty to others in normal relationships erodes away and is replaced with an abnormal, impersonal and weird relationship with this thing called "The Ministry". I would even go further to say this plainly: some in the LC system
love "The Ministry" more than their spouse, children, extended family, saints in their locality, etc. And BTW their spouses know it and so do their children, etc. It's damaging and hurtful.
