Good points Freedom.

Actually, there is more than enough evidence that Lee considered himself God's oracle on earth way back to the early days in Taiwan. He was hiring and firing elders and even co-workers at his personal whim back in the 50s and 60s. It was only the language, cultural and religious barriers (some of which were probably set up by Lee himself) that kept us gullible Americans from knowing the real Witness Lee right from the beginning. In today's information age, he would have never gotten away with it.

As for the matter of headquarters, well the simple fact was that wherever Witness Lee was, that was the headquarters of the Local Church. When he was in LA, the headquarters was Elden Hall. When he moved to Anaheim, that became the headquarters.
