You rounded up this figure to 100% (probably for additional effect) - "it shocked me to realize that nearly 100% of believers". You seemed to be being factual as well, based on your own experience.

"After getting out, I’ve met a bunch of other believers and about 99% of them have never heard of TLR or WL for that matter."
A "bunch" of people could be anything but normally less than 10 - a handful. So their sample size is small. This figure was then affirmed by 3 other people as if it was a fact, and one person has stated they were using it as an expression rather than literally.
I think how many people know about Witness Lee or any other person is not relevant. The argument is a silly one because according to facts on the internet (Google), more people know about Coca cola than Jesus Christ. Apparently 94% of the world recognize the name Coca-Cola but only 54% of the world recognize the cross that represents Christianity. So Coca cola is more popular than Jesus.
