The fact that the LC is unwilling to drop a doctrine that is so confusing and vulnerable to misinterpretation and cling to and defend it only because Witness Lee taught it is what completely turns me off.
Let's face it. The only reason LCers believe the doctrine is that Lee taught it. If he hadn't taught it they wouldn't believe it. If he had dropped it, they would have dropped it.
They certainly don't cling to because it makes sense, or because the know what is "meant" by it.
So they go around acting like they understand what it means, and dismiss those who disagree with it as not "understanding it." But LCers don't "understand" it either. They've just convinced themselves they do so they can go along with Lee and not become outcasts in the LC.
