Sorry, I was looking two far. Let's forget angels, living creatures, gates, elders and so forth.
Lampstands. How do you know the lampstands are identical? Because Witness Lee needs them to be. It fits his culturally-shaped perceptions.
But perception is not reality. The Bible doesn't say they are "exactly identical in shape, form and purpose". The footnote said this. Why doesn't anyone question this?
Angels are not identical. Nor are flowers, bees, snowflakes, living stones being built together. The twelve disciples were not identical.
But in Witness Lee's LC, it helps to be empty, drab, faceless, opinionless. Just pump your fist at the right moment. Get the sing-song intonation, inflect the vowels just so and you are "in spirit". And there's just one spirit, right? The Bible says so! On your way!
