Is this another tactic used by these LC con artists to instill fear and implement control over the body of Christ?

There is very little dispute among serious Christians that there will be some form of reward and some form of punishment for Christians in the coming Kingdom. I would suggest that anyone who is serious about finding out the various understandings and interpretations would have absolutely no problem at all, after doing a reasonable amount of digging, finding out what understandings and interpretations seem the most biblical and logical.

What we do know for sure is Witness Lee's interpretation and teaching of reward and punishment was totally off base. Firstly, Lee was totally unqualified to make such weighty judgments regarding something so profound as reward and punishment in the coming Kingdom. How could it be that a man that was so loose and irresponsible with reward and punishment in the present age be trusted to give an accurate teaching regarding reward and punishment in the next age?
