The local church you describe is not one I am acquainted with. I have never ever lost my freedom to choose. The vision that guides me is His shining and I came and choose to stay based on that. To me, Brother Lee was a servant of the Lord and a brother in the Lord. The Lord used him and Watchman Nee to open up many truths from the Bible. I appreciate them for that. Though I honored and respected Brother Lee in his function as an apostle (small "a") I never put him on a pedestal and I never felt for even a moment that I lost my ability to choose.
You mentioned one of his coworkers. I feel the same way about them. Sometimes what they say resonates and sometimes not. I go with His shining. The blessing of His speaking is still here and He compels me to stay. If my freedom to choose is diminished it is only when He limits my choices.
