A sure sign that there are BIG problems in a movement. In fact, it could be a possible sign that it has developed into some kind of cult. In the case of the Local Church, one must speak "according to the words of Witness Lee"...and if these words just happen to be according to the Bible..well that's just a bonus, but it's not a requirement. In fact, if Lee's teachings contradict the Bible (which many of them do) then one simply has to do some twisting and turning, adding some if, and and buts, provisos, exceptions to the rule, etc. etc.. and if all else fails, just pump your fist and proclaim "praise the Lord for the ministry!" "thank you Lord for your recovered word!" "Oh, Lord Jesus!"
