Not really,
Drake.
Perhaps you missed a LC era called the NEW WAY. All sorts of slogans sourced in China hit the FTTT. Why do you think so many men of God Stateside were concerned? Have you ever read John Ingalls account of events? Have you ever considered why men of God would be appalled at FTTT sayings such as these:
1) “There is no need to pray about what to do; just follow the ministry.”
2) We don’t even need to think; we just do what we are told.”
3) “Follow Witness Lee blindly. Even if he’s wrong, he’s right.”
4) “If you leave the training, you’ll miss the kingdom.”
5) Our burden is to pick up Brother Lee’s teaching and way to make us all Witness Lees, like a Witness Lee duplication center.”
6) “To be one with the ministry is to be one with Brother Lee, the office, and Philip Lee.”
7) Since Christianity is in ruins, the Lord raised up the recovery; since the recovery is in ruins, the Lord raised up the FTTT.
An account of Brother Lee’s position was given by one of the leading trainers of the FTTT to a group of brothers in Dallas, Texas, in the summer of 1986, in the context of how to be one with the ministry. There are witnesses to confirm it. It goes as follows:
“The Father is number one, the Son is number two, the Spirit is number three, and Witness Lee is number four; and then there are those who are with Witness Lee.” A brother asked, “And who is number five”? The trainer replied, “It is not yet quite clear who number five is”, but pointing out “You brothers do not have access to brother Lee. I and another trainer do.
Are you trying to tell us that God had a bigger role in Philip Lee's life than Chinese culture rooted in Communism? By all accounts your former boss was an unbelieving, incorrigible tyrant.
But that's a discussion you refuse to go near.
