"The testimonials from people who have been hurt in 'the local church,'
and those who have been hurt by Edwards's ministry are almost identical."
It was before my time, but what I've heard from brothers who were in a position to know, Edwards tried to "out-Lee" Witness Lee. Needless to say, this didn't go well with The One Master Builder. So Edwards had no choice to slip out quietly in the night...he wasn't the first...and he hasn't been the last.
