I appreciate Nigel as the first former LC leader to have the fortitude and integrity to expose the teachings of Witness Lee as woefully wanting when it comes to genuine biblical scholarship. Can anyone imagine someone using the term "Ignorance" when it comes to Lee's teachings, even just 10 years ago? And let's not forget he is not just throwing things up against the wall to see if something sticks....he is doing a substantial amount of scholarly research and producing some fine polemic works.

Keep it up Nigel! Eventually I wouldn't be surprised to see Tomes start hitting on some of the most cherished of Lee's teachings......Stay tuned!

Over the years since Tomes was called by God, the teachings and practices of LC leadership have drifted further and further from the truth. The quarantine of Titus Chu only served to bring these errors out of hiding and into the forefront.

Actually I have a slightly different take on this. I think the majority of the major teachings of Witness Lee were steeped in serious error from the beginning, even going back to the early days in Taiwan. (and I think Nigel Tomes, as well as most former members, are coming to this realization). Of course your point about the quarantine is very well taken, and there is little doubt now that it was a ginormous blessing in disguise for Nigel and numerous brothers and sisters in the GLA. Nevertheless, I think the errors were only "in hiding" to those of us who were blinded and mesmerized by the wit and charm of a very talented false prophet. From nearly the beginning of "The Lord's Recovery" here in America, not just a few Christian apologists and scholars were pointing out these serious errors (even if they were doing the pointing in a judgmental and unkind spirit, the errors were still there and worthy of being pointed out).
