Ergo, Timothy got Daystar and Philip became "The Office".
The point I want to make is that we never saw this cultural influence, believing the Lee narrative that somehow China was (somehow) "virgin soil" for God to raise up something apart from fallen human culture. So when fallen human culture began trampling us to death, we couldn't see it. Even though we got crushed by it. It's amazing, really.

Since it looked so different than our own, and no one around us said anything to the contrary, we were led to believe it was not fallen culture, but a "spiritual" culture.
It took WL himself, back-stabbing dear brother John Ingalls for protecting vulnerable sisters from the profligate Phillip, to open my eyes to the corruption of fallen human culture within LSM.
