The difference between a few idealistic college kids and Lee/LSM was that our goofy ideas never hurt others. Either we ended up with dirty dishes in the sink, or not. Our brothers' house kitchen and bathroom were test stations for our own childish spiritual innovations. On the contrary, Lee dreamed up his novel ideas and his minions passed them on down the chain of command, and people got hurt. We wasted hours of valuable time.

Such was life in the Recovery, especially in the '70's and '80's. Endless changes -- what the Bible called the winds and waves of teachings in the sleight of men, with a view to a system of error. (Eph. 4.14) And pity the poor elder who opted out of the latest "flow" to protect the saints under his care.

For those who care to know, the chief complaint concerning Titus Chu over the years was his continued resistance to all those endless and frivolous programs designed and disseminated by Witness Lee and the Blendeds.
