Looking back I find it amazing that Recovery leaders were able to convince us that their "mean streak" was actually "spiritual." All "effective" Recovery leaders used their bully nature to establish their own position in the program.
Ironically and supposedly it was a female British missionary named Margaret Barber who recovered this lost method of "perfecting" the saints. Then Nee taught Lee, and Lee taught others, like Kangas and Titus Chu. Too bad there is no scriptural basis for it.
It really is a worldly method of governing, as seen in many companies, but can be quite effective. Unfortunately, many Christian leaders forsake the Lord's commands, and decide that lording it over the saints is a small price to pay for increased productivity and loyalty, all the while keeping the troops informed as to who is their "commander-in-chief."
