Of course, WL contradicted himself on this. However, it seems that when Hon was in the LC, he must have taken to heart something that WL taught about home meetings. As I mentioned previously, in the area that I'm from, the leaders were really big on WL's "new way." The interesting part of it all is all the too good to be true promises that WL made. He spoke of exponential increase, “the final revival,” etc, etc.

As would be expected, the results of such things were never as promised, and this was always my observation in the area I’m from. However, in the case with Hon, you have someone who has their own little spin on what WL taught and because it happened to be successful, headquarters got jealous and came in to take over. It's ironic, because in order to practice what WL taught and avoid any kind of interference, it seems like it is dependent on having something mediocre, something that doesn't attract much attention. If a work ends up being successful, then everyone can rest assured that it’s only a matter of time before headquarters comes in to take over.

Bro Freedom, did you ever consider the possibility that Witness Lee was delusional?
