Interesting the full-time co-workers who remained and those who left had everything to lose; financial support.

Witness Lee once came out with these great swelling words of wisdom about all those who had left the Recovery, that they had either ...
- Unfulfilled Ambitions
- Unforgiven Offenses
Witness Lee, however, would never identify the real issues at the heart of every conflict. It was always so much easier to assign evil motives to those who voiced protest at unrighteousness and criminal activity, while all the time pretending like he alone was the only pure and holy man on earth, suffering evil persecution, from within and without. He was so quick to demand forgiveness from others, yet never would apologize for his own wrongs.
Think about his response for those who lost their life savings during the Daystar disaster, "
they lost their virginity."
Nothing was ever his fault! Somebody else was always to blame! These saints were robbed by Lee in some grand get-rich-quick scheme, but Lee owed them no apology, rather they should consider it a "gift to the Lord." For the ones who were finally compensated for their "investment," it was because they threatened to go to the authorities.
