Lee brought it from China. He knew what he was doing, and cast aside any that got in his way.
He was going to be considered God's authority, God's mouthpiece, on the earth, and if you didn't fall in line under HIM, you were out ; as in excommunications and quarantines ; and lawsuits against cult claimers.
Speaking of cults. China has a long history of cults, some that have resulted in millions of deaths. That's why they're so hard on religious groups.
And I think that Nee and Lee syncretised that cult mentality with Christianity ... and out came the local church ... not that different from Eastern Lightning ... but with a different personality cult leader.
