False teachings are in the realm of "say what I say," while his rotten practices are in the realm of "do what I do." We all know that bad behavior is more often imitated than words.
Much of Lee's more aberrant teachings were learned in the actual meetings, while his books have often been sanitized by polished editors.

I agree their books have been sanitized.
I came from China. When I was baptized and started my church life in LC in US, I noted the phenomenon that LCers studied either Nee’s or Lee’s writing in small group. However, that time I had a wrong idea that their writings were about how did they understood Bible. So I thought I should focus my attention on studying Bible first. Besides, I never heard of Nee or Lee in China before I came US. I more or less “despised” them so during the studying I often had absent mind on the materials. With the time being, when I became familiar with Bible I found I could not enjoy church life with other LCers because they studied Nee and Lee’s teachings and followed “absolutely” and had different opinions with me on Bible so I left. But their teachings had influences on me in an unseen way. Your direct experiences in LC and especially the lesson learned would be invaluable treasure to me. Your works like to put red tags on “brushed tomb” so that warn someone come afterward. Please continue the works!
