But could it be that Witness Lee's delusion was big enough to also justify setting up a patrilineal monarchy within his ministry? He seemed pretty dead set on having his son inherit the mantle of his ministry despite his iniquity. This motivation seems to go against all sorts of scriptural commands found in the bible. It's also something that I could not see Watchman Nee trying to pull off if he had a son.

This seems highly unlikely. PL had zero qualifications for teaching or ministry. He could never be the face of the franchise. Rather WL used him as a back room thug to bring all the LC leaders under subjection to himself as Deputy Authority.
