Before this thread goes further off the rails, let me clearly state that the purpose is to blow the whistle on sexual immorality in the Local Churches, as testified to by women who were exposed to this abuse. The result in their lives has left them, in some cases, shipwrecked in their faith. If you have no meaningful contribution to this topic, please post on another thread.
Watchman Nee laid the foundation for sexual immorality in the church as Dr. Lily Hsu described in her book

On this foundation, Witness Lee continued supporting the immorality of his son, Philip as told by John Ingalls in his book
Speaking the Truth in Love http://localchurchdiscussions.com/vB...Truth in Love.
We haven't discussed Lee's son Timothy. From what I've read, in some ways, Timothy was worse than Philip. That could be because I read a few more details from Timothy's depravity but I had to stop.
There are testimonies on this forum which brave women have shared regarding their experiences of abuse in the Local Churches. A few posters would seem to want to change the subject and detract from the topic. In that case, please start your own thread. Otherwise, this is an important topic and deserves to be addressed. The devil would like to kill, steal and destroy the lives of women who trusted that the Local Church was a safe place for them to grow as Christian women. For some, that is not the case. There may be others monitoring this topic and looking for a safe place to share their experiences. Hopefully we can continue to keep this topic from being destroyed.
