Quotes you've provided is Lee expressing his opinion. I've tended to take such statements lightly. My influence growing up was Gene Gruhler and Francis Ball. Not WITNESS LEE. He to me was an author from my parent's bookshelf.
By the time I was nearing completion in college I had read Fermentation of the Present Rebellion and Reconsideration of the Vision. Negates any influence Lee could have had on me.
As far as doing things someone might consider sinful, you've might your point, is it pre-eminent? My point some one makes it a rule, it's legalistic. Approach others have given in fellowship, do it until the Lord occupies that part of your heart. For me it was baseball, basketball, and football. Gradually, my loves for those sports has waned.
