Re: "Globalization of Chinese Christianity: A Study of Watchman Nee and..."
My friend Drake, you all all washed up with your facts. There is no evidence - NONE - NADA - ZILTCH - that anything that is posted on LocalChurchDiscussions is used by the communist to persecute genuine Christians in Mainland China. There is plenty of evidence, however, that many of the aberrant and heretical teachings and practices of groups like the Shouters come directly from the teachings and practices established by Witness Lee himself. In fact, Lee admitted as much when he was alive and apparently thought the Shouters were something positive.
And while I'm glad that you've finally grown a conscience, I'd like to know where you and your newfound sanctimonious conscience were when sisters were taken advantage of sexually by Witness Lee's son WITH HIS FULL KNOWLEDGE, and the knowledge of MANY LC/LSM leaders?....I suspect you were there within the confines of a meeting hall somewhere in American suburbia doing some shouting yourself, and uplifting the name and ministry of the very same man.
Please do not tell us how "this is not the Lord's Recovery I'm familiar with". This is an insult, and let me remind you that you too will stand before the Lord regarding the stumbling of these little sisters and their families. You have done nothing but express support and approval of the men who enabled Witness Lee and his sons to stumble these little ones instead of calling them to repentance before God and his people.
By the way I have NEVER ONCE said that I "suffered". NOT ONE TIME. You confuse speaking the truth in love with the old Local Church "bitter ex member" garbage. What's next? Are you going to warn me that a piano in going to fall on me, or that I'm gong to contract some terrible disease? I'm not bitter now and never have been. I have nothing to be bitter about. I do have some grave concerns for the dear brothers and sisters who genuinely suffered in the Local Church of Witness Lee. Some have suffered some terrible psychological and spiritual damage. Many at the hands of the very men who claim to be "brother Lee's continuation". These men have NO BUSINESS leading an entire Christian organization or movement, and your blind approval and promotion of them is nothing less than despicable.
