I suppose you could characterize this as the kind of editing a legal department does to avoid litigation, so in that sense it was no different from much of the world. But to my perception it allowed Witness Lee to say some of his most outrageous quotes from the podium without fear that they would show up in print.

Sure, ZNP.
There was the legal, grammatical, removal of personal references. Etc. also, Brother Lee’s delivery style was, as you know, interactive and anecdotal relating borrowing examples and experiences both present and past. Much of that does not transfer well to print. Yet, there was nothing substantive lost between what was spoken and what was printed. I know because having attended the Life studies live twice a year for the better part of twenty years, followed by listening to the cassette tapes WHILE following along with the printed pamphlet I never noticed even one difference of theological import.
So, in spite of claims in this forums that it occurred not one shred of evidence had ever been produced. It never will because it did not happen. The purpose of those false claims are clear... they simply want to put their own words in Brother Lee’s mouth.
