ok they're not brainwashed. Fine. Then, what happened?
How could one man give hundreds if not thousands of messages, many of which strained at the bounds of orthodoxies, or at least were novel, without anyone ever questioning him? I mean, if I gave a message where I said that the tree of life was the center of the universe, in front of 800 or 1500 or 2300 people, wouldn't even one of them want to ask whether the throne of God were not the center? What happened to people's curiosity, here?
Message after message, point after point, year after year after year. And not one question? All those 'revelations'. All those novel assertions. "This shows us that . . ." And nothing ever got challenged.
I mean, look at Ravi Zacharias. People get to ask him questions. He listens (or seems to). Lee only wanted to hear himself getting spoken back from the crowd.
How did Lee avoid any challenge or critique from so many followers for so long? Was he really that good? He challenged and critiqued everyone else. Nobody challenged him. Was he really that perfected, that elevated? Or were we duped? Or is there another explanation?
"God gives us one person per generation who must be listened to and followed without question". . . Okay that isn't brainwashing then what is behind that thought, or lack thereof?
