One of Lee's greatest "gifts" was to convince us all that we could not survive without him. The continued elimination of so many other gifted brothers made this "addiction" all the more apparent. Like a smoker who feels "so much better" with a cigarette in his hand, most of us could not imagine a church life without Lee.
None of us was thoughtful or courageous enough to inquire whether our "deadness" had anything to do with Witness Lee in the first place. We were doing everything he commanded, clinging to his every word, and he then had the audacity to blame us, calling us Laodicea, and then threaten not to speak any more?
Someone should have immediately stood up to whistle his approval! What a scene that would have been.
