Here Lee creates another "deadly sin" where the Bible has none: INDIVIDUALITY. To a typical member of the Recovery, it seems that here Lee sees something that the rest of us cannot see. Thus members are convinced that this is once again proof that Lee is the Oracle of God.
Actually not. No one else "sees" it because it is not in the Bible. God never condemns individuality because He created us that way. Then why would Lee create such a new sin? Because then he can secure his power and control over others. Since he alone can "see" who is an INDIVIDUAL and who is not, he alone can determine who should be esteemed in his version of the body of Christ. This simple measure alone completely insulates his sphere of influence from all interference.

One time I visited a church that happened to have an 80-90% Chinese and Korean membership. I don't know the history, but apparently there had been, in the past, many more "white American" folks in this particular locality.
I remember the guy I was staying with (who's Chinese) making a comment, something to the effect of, that there was something wrong w/the American saints. I guess that's how people
who stay deal w/the fact that so many people
are leaving -- to assume that there must be something wrong w/those leaving. Couldn't possibly be that there are troubles within the group that are causing the exodus. Couldn't be.
