I gave you the quotes already, from Witness Lee. I was there, you apparently were not. Stop confidently affirming what is false.
Everyone has the right to change their mind. I used to think that "the ground of the church" doctrine as taught by Witness Lee was scriptural, now I don't.
But when you change your mind be honest about it.
2nd, he condemned the very Christians who he later used to support his ministry. He condemned them for using pagan terms that could be interpreted as idolatrous and then he used their use as support for him to use it. If he changed his mind he needs to confess and repent for condemning them before.

His use of the word deification does not change the doctrine he taught. The doctrine has been the same from the 80's until now. So your argument is only about terminology and not the doctrine itself. Your argument would only have merit if you can find a reference where Lee advocated the worship of man, which is clearly a pagan concept. In fact no one on this forum has managed to quote Lee in stating that man should be worshiped. They can only provide obscure examples of cults in China who apparently use Lee's name in prayer or worship, which is no proof at all that he taught such things.
