You may be right, Igzy. There is something else to consider along with your statement.
Before Benson encountered Lee, he may have even still been a college student at Baylor, he shared with some of the "brothers" that he had had a dream. He dreamed "something like" (this is not exact) he would one day be the leader of a large group of Christians (or Christian movement?). Maybe even that the Lord told him he would be the leader... . I believe that this dream has been a big influence on his life and walk with the Lord. It's even possible that he set out to make his dream come true...maybe even in a manner such as you have suggested.
Although, I'm not sure that becoming the CEO of an exclusive publishing house for Lee and Nee counts as becoming the leader of a large group of Christians.
