Re: The 'Lonely Triune God' LSM's Oxymoron - TOMES
A brother I respect greatly recently said, Watchman Nee's name was sullied during his lifetime. It was uplifted in his death. Witness Lee's followed a reverse trajectory, exalted in his lifetime (at least by insiders) and made toxic after his death.
It's an interesting observation. I wonder how long the half-life of toxicity will last for Lee. It seems to me a lot of the criticism against his theology is simply a recoil from the ugly side of the LCC experience.
But I've noticed a faint thawing in the ice in several venues, including here. Maybe all of us who actually sat in his trainings will have to die before the ice completely melts. At some point someone will discover his theology and treasure it afresh, I predict.
