But if you read anything by Nee or Lee you read theology heavily indebted to them. For example, Nee's first book, "Spiritual Man", was simply JP Lewis plagiarized. Later editions of the book had to acknowledge what the first did not. Both Nee & Lee plagiarized others' work, including women, and passed it off as their own.

So why did Nee have a woman mentor but "women can't teach" in the Nee/Lee church? Insert 'scratchhead' or 'baffled' icon here. . .

And the Blendeds are peas in the Lee Pod. Current Ministry Mouthpiece RK once told us, "Sometimes I think the only thing worse than a rebellious brother is a spiritual sister". I was aghast. I mean, I was pretty 'conservative' socially but that was waaaaay over the top. The meeting sat there silently, and he went on.

We all should have gotten up and walked out. I should have. But I was intimidated by the Hive Mind and the Power of the Maximum Brother.

Revivals are a way for the Reformation (Protestantism) to "re-form" itself. Every generation or two a "new Moses" has had to rise up. Insert 'yawning' icon here. . .
