In 35 years of public ministry in the U.S., did anyone see Witness Lee accept such loss of face? If not, then what assurance is there that he was even a Christian? Or at least that he was a mature and transformed Christian, versus a "shallow" or "natural" or "soulish" one? In other words, how much (if at all) had he freed himself from his native Chinese culture?
