Or would that be too much of a Pharisee for your taste?
If you can imagine that scenario then you will understand the purpose of this thread in this forum. Yet, I thought the bast note was clear.

So then this thread is a defense of Witness Lee's claim regarding "poor, poor Christianity".
1. Part of this claim is that there are not any other worthy ministries. Other than a few history books and Strong's concordance I was taught in the LRC not to read any other ministry other than Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. Also the Watchman Nee ministry came with the caveat that you had to be concerned about who published it. So far this thread has completely neglected this aspect.
2. If you are going to use Revelation 2-3 for a defense of Witness Lee that seems to open up a very big can of worms.
3. This supports what many of us have been saying on this thread -- your defense of WL is that "hey, at least he isn't like those over there talking about Beyonce, or dancing to Hossana"
Your logic is that if there is any behavior done under the name of Christianity that you disprove of then that is proof of Witness Lee's claim to "poor, poor Christianity". Using that logic if there is any ministry that is of the Lord other than Witness Lee's it proves that his claim there isn't is wrong.
