He said "we have the documents" to prove how all the saints wealth and property was given. I was in a "state of shock," but of course, I was a "learner" who was not supposed to have any opinions about anything whatsoever. The unspoken implication of his fellowship was that this soon would happen in all the LC's to prepare the Lord's return.
Another brother relayed to me what he heard during the same era. One of the "BB's to be" was discussing how the Lord's move could be financed thru all the churches forwarding a portion of their offering to LSM. Someone had made a comment about that, to which he replied to the effect, "all your offerings are ours anyways." The jaws of all dropped in silence.

I remember back in my 20's in the early 70's being in a small gathering and and Witness Lee told us about this event in China of the saints giving all....but he told us this should never be enforced and should only be done when it is a spontaneous move of the Lord.
