Additionally, they use phrases like, "affiliated with the ministries of Witness Lee and Watchman Nee", in case you needed further cues as to the nature of "the church". So "affiliated with" is a description while "of" means a de-nom-ination? How can someone type this into a keyboard with a straight face? Or does one think that if they keep a solemn expression no one will pick up on it?
Back in the '90s, at the dawn of the internet, all the local churches of Lee were instructed, sorry, "got fellowship", to create websites. If you looked at the headers at the top it said "Lovers of Jesus affiliated with the ministries of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee." And yet they condemn everyone who "takes a name."
