The public has already spoken. Lee is irrelevant and generally viewed in a negative light.
It's that that LSM/Lc don't have the ability, but they don't want to. Lee's ministry is the golden egg the drives LSM. If they were to execute their ability to influence public perception, several things might happen;
A. Lee's ministry is not so unique as the Blendeds have striven to present.
B. Veils may be ripped away from the local churches exposing the real situation.
When you have two former Nee co-workers in Witness Lee and Stephen Kaung, why is Witness Lee identified with cult and Stephen Kaung is not?
