Bradley,
I'm sure they never spent much time telling you about the history of the Daystar Motorhome Company.
Quote:
In 1972 [W.E. Miller] gave up editing the Gazette and took a full-time position as chief engineer/designer with Daystar Motor Homes, Inc., 1414 West Artesia Blvd., Compton, California. The firm's $70,000 26' luxury motor home was built on a Dodge 440 commercial truck chassis by a third party in Taiwan named Phosphorous, a Chinese-American firm connected with Witness Lee's Southern Californian 'Local Church'.
Miller even travelled to Phosphorous' Kaohsiung, Taiwan (Republic of China) factory to make arrangements for the construction of the Cor-Ten steel body and teak interior. Only 16 Daystars are known to have been constructed before the firm closed down in 1975, the victim of an alleged money-laundering scheme initiated by Phosphorous' directors Timothy Lee, Samuel Chang and K.H. Weigh.

Or, what about the installation and maintenance of admittedly 'unspiritual' son Philip as office manager at LSM?
Witness Lee wasn't even qualified to be an elder in a local assembly, per Titus 1:5-7. The all-too-human association basing its existence on his supposed apostleship has no power over your life. None. And his teachings which percolated through your brain have only as much credence as you willingly give them. No more or less.
My salvation was not to reject Lee et al. My salvation was to "see Jesus", per Hebrews 2:9. Once I saw Jesus, and realised that Lee & Co weren't seeing Jesus but "God's economy" and "the church life" etc then I didn't have to hang out with them anymore. I was free to go on my own path.
Just see Jesus, and follow that vision. That becomes your pathway home to the Father. He's right there, in the Word. He's been there all along. The Holy Spirit will reveal Him to you.
