Why am I so picky????  Well, I don't really care that much, I think it is just a clear example of why not to trust anything that LSM publishes. The LSM considered John So to be "rebellious", and thus they erased his name from history. Should someone's name be erased from history because they express a dissenting view? This type of thinking would require removing Martin Luther's name from history because he "rebelled" against the Catholic Church.  |
The CWWN by LSM is replete with references to brothers who later disavowed Witness Lee and his work, including many references to... wait for it... Stephen Kaung. The reverse is not true. Books like CFP's "Revive Thy Work" carefully edit out references to Witness Lee and sections spoken by Witness Lee. So, is this a fair comparison? I am not sure I understand your point in relation to my comment about CFP and LSM's edition of Watchman Nee.
