By "this letter" I assume you are talking about the original posted at www.open-letter.org ?
Hi, Brother!
I meant the letter written by one of the signers in response to CRI.

Your point is well taken, however I think some of the abuse we see in the Local Church can be attributed to Witness Lee's unorthodox (unbiblical) teachings on the trinity.
Spiritual abuse can be seen all across the theological spectrum. It makes me think that its root is not in teachings per se. Of course, teachings are used to implement this abuse, but the root of it, I think, is not in teachings; it's a heart issue. Quite often I see that abuse is a result of insecurities of an abuser. I would recommend a very good book by Marc Dupond "Walking Out of Spiritual Abuse".
