Again I have to ask :
Is The Recovery a real divinely orchestrated phenomenon or not?
And:
How did Lee know Nee was chosen?
In the Baptist churches I grew up in all that was needed was a claim of "a calling," usually the pastors son, I spotted even when young.
How did Lee know Nee was commissioned of the Lord in this age?
Lee couldn't have known everyone in this age. How did he know if there weren't others commissioned of the Lord ... on the other side of the globe, in the west? Lee even couldn't have known if the Lord commissioned others just in the east.
Looking back now,
The Recovery looks to be made up, whole cloth, in the heads of Nee and Lee.
And their idea that, the Lord started the recovery with Luther, and worked His way up to Witness Lee is ludicrous to me now.
Even more, this is where the eastern mind may show to have a proclivity for MOTAs: that China has a long history, going back into the bronze age -- pretty much the same timeline as Judaism -- of lifting men up to be gods and vicegerents of God.
Now I know, looking back on history, and at primitive human tribes, there's plenty of evidence that all human primates have such a proclivity. But we're trying to explain why Nee and Lee were MOTA inclined, and obsessed; why they were weak for megalomania?
They didn't grow up in the west. So they didn't come up with the silly MOTA doctrine from there/here.
