Here is an interesting notion: "The last apostle". Where did that one come from? It reminds me of the Sunni's and Shia's, now at discord over whether Ali followed Muhammad. Who was the last prophet? There seems to be an inability to reach consensus.

So the Blended's say it was WL. Supposedly he was the last spiritual giant, and now is the age of small potatoes. No more apostles, no more big leaders. Now I wonder, from where in the Bible is this idea derived?

The Brazilian Dong-ites and GLA Chu-ites perhaps believe that their man is the latest and greatest apostle sent from God. WL supposedly handed over the reins to Dong and/or Chu. That seems to have a little more biblical precedent than the Blendeds' position. I cannot see where the Blendeds come from, and that they're still pretending to be a Christian group. What kind of 'normal' New Testament church life pattern are they following? "Witness Lee is the last apostle"... What kind of idea is this?

Is this Asian culture manifested as ancestor reverence, even worship? Maybe filial piety and obsequiousness are divinely mandated in Asian culture; as WL, the divinely appointed successor, once revered WN, now it's the "Brothers Wee" who collectively revere WL? I'm guessing here; I don't know.

From whence came the idea of an unbroken line of apostolic succession, that then had to culminate, and even terminate, in the person of WL? I see nothing in the Bible remotely like this; it seems to be spun whole-cloth from the human imagination, and (perhaps) helped along by cultural pressures.
