In the comments section at the end of the article, there is a post that caught my attention:

That is the response I think a lot of people will have to this post--which is why I am thankful Tommy wrote it. Nee's works have been so helpful to so many Christians, especially those younger in the faith. That being said, I think a lot of people grow in their concern for some of the details of his theology as they grow in the faith.

It is undeniable that many have received help from WN’s ministry. For those who have received help, a proper response to WN’s ministry should be to not view his ministry as being a definitive guide to living a “normal Christian life”. Just as much as certain help to be found in WN’s ministry, there are some potentially serious pitfalls, many of which have been detailed already.
There is the notion in the LC that everyone must give themselves "absolutely" to a particular ministry because there is a perceived benefit being provided by that ministry. This was certainly the view that WL expressed in
Seer of the Divine Revelation in the Present Age. He brazenly admitted: “
I feel no shame whatsoever in saying that I followed a man...” WL took great pride in his following Nee. He didn’t see any problem with following WN, even though he very well knew that he should have been following Christ.
