To awareness:
Nee was trying to present what he understood from the Bible. He didn't pretend to be correct all the time, so he asked his readers to check with the Bible and if they found him wrong to correct him. That was my point (actually Nee's point). He accepted correction from the Bible but not from the opinions of men. So far I haven't seen a single verse (maybe allusions), from anyone, disproving what Nee said.
The second thing is, if you believe he sinned in an horrible way, why are you still concerned about what he wrote. It seems that to prove his point was wrong you have to attack his person. If his point was wrong it would be wrong even if he was “perfect” in his conduct.
To all:
Nee was Nee. Lee was Lee.
Please, do not judge Nee's writing by what Lee or Lee's coworkers did or said.

Good post TAT. I'd like to hear more about how the verses you provided relate, but that can be set aside.
First. Are you saying that the con of a preacher conman can be dismissed as long as he teaches the Bible?
Second. Zeek's quote of Nee, and his teaching that Christians should not be involved in government, can be Biblically disproven by the fact that there are many examples in the Bible of men of God who were involved in government. King David comes to mind. And even Jesus provides an example. He was executed because he was King of the Jews. Doesn't the position of king involve government? Plus, Jesus said the 12 disciples would rule over the 12 tribes of Israel. Again, isn't that government?
Then, according to the Bible, we've got both God and Jesus sitting on thrones.
So Nee was wrong, concerning Christians and government, according to the Bible.
Third. I have no quibble with your quote:
WE WILL NEVER SAY THAT WE CAN NEVER BE WRONG! (WATCHMAN NEE)
In fact I proved with the Bible that Nee was wrong.
Fourth. We're getting our quotes from Living Stream Ministry. So Nee is too connected with Lee, and Lee to Nee.
Thanks for your input TAT. I'm anxious to learn more about where you are going.
