Point No. 5 - Consider Beating as a Big Thing
Some years ago the Chinese 'sisters' in the LC that I was meeting with were 'studying' this book of Watchman Nee. One of the 'sisters' decided to take this 'word' seriously and took action against her son. He was ten years old at the time. His 'sin' - wanting to play soccer with the neighbourhood kids after school. The sister forced her husband to beat his son with a rod till his son was bleeding. Then the mother cleaned the sons wounds. (I still to this day cry for the son every time I recall this episode.). I served with this brother and he broke down and cried for what he had done to his son. He was a good brother but his actions nearly destroyed him. He eventually did have a breakdown.
How can anyone in their right mind do this to a child? How can you take this word of WN and act on it? How many children did WN have? Does he speak from 'experience'?
THERE IS NO LOVE, MERCY OR COMPASSION IN THE LC

Being a father I could see spanking a child once or twice, but beyond than until the child bleeds is incomprehensible. I'm sure in the LC there is no outrage. Along the lines of "I never did it and I never saw it results in the speaker being disengaged." Even if a husband hits his wife. Brothers get disengaged from domestic violence by saying we don't talk about those things around here.
I do agree with the last statement....
THERE IS NO LOVE, MERCY OR COMPASSION IN THE LC....I would only add, just get right with the brothers.
