One of the problems with this "how could something so good become so bad?" notion is that it creates a kind of false dilemma. The simple truth is that all movements of man are probably never quite as good as we might think, and they are probably never quite as bad as we might think. None of us like to think that we were that deceived, or that our experiences of the Lord, or the blessings of oneness with others, were somehow invalided by the sins of one man. But if we did have genuine experiences of the Lord, they are just that - genuine experiences of the Lord. Nothing anyone says today can invalidate those experiences we had.

Some of us only have so much energy and so much time. I prefer to use my energy and my time on this forum to speak what I know to be the truth about the false teachings and practices originally taught and propagated by Witness Lee, and now are taught and propagated by the Blended Brothers. Other forum members might have the inclination to speak of the positive experiences and blessings of years gone by. No Problem! I have neither encouraged nor discouraged such speaking on the forum, and I never will. What I do discourage is not being respectful and accurate about what our fellow forum members have posted about Witness Lee, or any other brother or sister.
