Yet they do the same thing. They venerate their history, and condemn others for essentially doing what they also practice...
"You who condemn, do you not also do the same thing?" Cf Rom. 2:1; Luke 6:37

Someone told me about going to Anaheim in the mid 1990s. The Chinese would gather around Witness Lee's leather chair between meetings and pose for photos. The bold ones would sit in the chair for a photo.
Of course the "ministry" would condemn such practices. But they do promote ancestor worship, or whatever they want to call it. "Closely following the teachings of the apostles" or some such. Or, "our rich heritage." So is anyone shocked when busloads of Chinese tourists show up at Surrey Chapel for photo ops?
It's the same old, same old. "When we do it, it's okay, but when other Christians do it, then it's fallen humankind, and must be exposed and rebuked."
