Conversely, WL could ask the Shanghai elders how they felt when they expelled Nee for wrongdoing. The problem to WL wasn't Nee's sins, but that the elders broke the social code by exposing the Maximum Leader and causing him to lose face. How did that feel to them, he wondered? Their newly deceased God, here, wasn't the God of the Bible but of social harmony. They had violated the code and then they'd felt bad. So their conscience was used against them: they had sinned, not Nee. They had rebelled against God's deputy.
