Now, this may seem like pretty flaky conjecture, but I still find it more satisfying than Tomes' work, which merely demonstrates stuff like Lee's plagiarizing, and his crude and amateurish etymology, but never addresses the elephant in the room: why did so many of us completely give our lives over to this man's ideas, and allow our consciousnesses to be totally subsumed by his? What is behind that?

I'd say yes on my own account. During 1986 migration I was in Taipei and helped "CH or GP or KD" settle down. I felt reinforced when I saw caucasians brothers and sisters sitting in the meetings listening to brother Lee. It's a prevailing cultural phenomenon among Asians to worship foreign things and fawn on foreign powers. Then, came you guys doing the opposite, what does that imply?
So I'd like to ask western minds the same question as Aron did above. Why? Furthermore, if not cultural, then? If we can answer it, we might help christian believers who are not suited to stay in the local church to live a healthier and happier life.
