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.

Well spoken, and I completely agree.
If LC members had heart-felt convictions about what Lee taught and wanted to defend it, I could at least respect that. The fact that LC members insist on promoting and defending ridiculous teachings because it was something that WL taught just shows how shallow the whole system is.
They insist on 'affirming' anything and everything that he taught and then they proceed to 'critique' everyone who disagrees. I know for a fact that many members have no clue what half of the stuff that WL taught really means, yet they go along with it. I honestly can't understand how such a system can survive. But it does.
