Yes, there maybe similar origin. As far as I know (please correct me if I’m wrong) “shouter” is a branch of LC. There are different sects among them. The extreme one called “Lord Changshou” and “King Changshou”. The “Changshou” is Lee’s Chinese name. They worshiped Lee! I heard of someone suggested that Eastern Lightning is a sect derived from “shouter” but I’m not sure. Do you have more information on these? I recommend to read through “God in life and nature but not in the Godhead” in this web to see if there is a connection. Also possible from the MOT teaching, I don't know.

The article linked in the quote below contains some information on the subject. Basically, it appears that a member of the "Lord Changshou sect" (a Witness Lee worshiper) went on to become the founder of the Eastern Lightning:
Quote:
Back in Acheng City during 1989's Spring Festival, Zhao testified that Witness Lee is the Christ of the End Times and the King of Kings.
...
In March 1989, Mr. Zhao was made head of the Changshou sect in Heilongjiang and was named “Lord of Power”. He Zhexun was made the Leader of the Hengshan Church (a Shouter church).
...
At the end of 1990 because of pressure from the public security authorities and other reasons, the Changshou sect was broken up. Mr. Zhao saw his opportunity and sent some of his core people to various Changshou sect areas and got those believers to believe in the Lord of Power (that is, himself) instead of Witness Lee. He wrote his own tract, called “Preaching the Word”. Under this tract’s influence, his followers gave up the Bible and Witness Lee’s Life-Study of the Bible.
