I could be mistaken, but I doubt you will find such a thought or concept, much less a clearly defined doctrine or teaching, such as we find in Witness Lee.
I definitely agree that the whole matter has been muddied by Recovery claims that only those in the Recovery could possibly be the rewarded overcomers. Decades ago I believed this wholeheartedly, but there is no way one can look at the sobering facts of Recovery history and still be convinced that God has special perks for these crooked folks.

Yet . . . . . Lee took the teachings of Robert Govett, D.M.Panton, G.H.Pember, G.H.Lang, and others and passed them on to us. I for one would like to know the truth.
