I don't know about anyone else but when I got the boot the stones were coming my way, not the other way around.
But I don't know that for sure either. Cuz I was bucking the Lee/apostle/oracle "Flow of Oneness" push. So maybe stones were flying both ways, it could be claimed, by the leaders.
It was at that time I woke up, and realized I was in a cult.
So is it throwing stones to tell everyone the local church is a cult?
Let's face it, we'll never be able to determine with any degree of certainty, how much Chinese culture influenced Nee and Lee's theology and hermeneutics.
We can say that "Authority and Submission," with its deputy/delegated authority, and their insistence on "Hand-over," "follow the one in front of you, and the leader," certainly appear to be very totalitarian in nature. Did it come out of Chinese culture/history? Does it matter where it came from?
That's what makes the local church a cult. And that's not a stone. That's a boulder ... for all in the Recovery.
