Even 'hubris' doesn't seem strong enough for this.
And Witness Lee's feeling wasn't affected by bias and self-interest? The man who gave us Timothy Lee and Daystar, and Philip Lee aka "The Office"? It's so obviously self-serving; even the most resolutely non-thinking and non-analytical among the flock must have had their consciences pricked by this kind of talk from ministry leaders.

Uh ... umm ... er ... ahh ... no, not really,
aron. And to think that one of my strengths in work was
analysis.
Actually, from the end of the Life-Study era onward, I was mostly board with whatever I heard from Lee or the Blendeds. I thought the problem was me. I thought the cure was more of the ministry. From what I gathered over the years, I was the rule rather than the exception.
What awakened me from years of comatose was the One Publication edict which I knew was about to divide the LC's. How could this be happening? What in the world is going on? From what I knew about Titus Chu, telling him to stop his ministry ain't never gonna happen. I could hear the din of battle in the distance. I knew we were in trouble after I read that Phoenix Accord -- "
We will agree to be nice to each other." That don't sound good at all!
By using that absurd One Publication edict, LSM opened the Pandora's Box, and all sorts of skeletons from their past came out via the internet.
