Isn't that called "straw man."

Ohio,
Thanks for your comments to me, personally. I know I have frustrated a number of people and they are speaking out of some frustration.
I just did in my last post to Roger.
You are correct that the issue of idolatry shouldn't be applied indiscriminately upon N.T. believers.
Fact: The Local Churches of Witness Lee are a very, very small minority of the Body of Christ.
For me to apply comments to the whole of the LC is actually to talk about a small piece of the Body of Christ. It's like talking about a portion of the humorous bone in the arm.
Final Question: Did you or did you not give your allegiance to the "the vision of the church" or "christ and the church" (intentionally or unintentionally)? If I didn't get it quite right, please tell me what you did give your allegiance to. Can you honestly say that you
only gave your allegiance to Christ? This is what I am talking about. Right now, I'm asking about you. After you answer this, then begin to ask yourself
who did not do this?
Matt
P.S. I'm not trying to make you out to be a bad person through my last question. You are not a bad person. You have a great heart towards others. I'm asking you to bear a true and solemn witness.
