Now, I stress that here, because the LSM operatives clearly hate the light. They stress the "sense of life" but they hate the light. So how is their life?
1. Witness Lee hated to hear the truth. He complained, it was like pouring cold water on him. Everyone learned: Give a good report, no matter what really was going on.
2. The DCP writers, when they are forced to acknowledge Daystar because of the Jo Casteel letter, never once mention Timothy Lee. Yet he was the one who suggested the plan, according to eye-witnesses. He's the one who ran it, profited, and took off with how much money...
If there's no light, how can there be life?

3. Witness Lee put admittedly unspiritual son Philip in a position of authority, able to cause havoc in the LC. Then, when PL was repeatedly found molesting the help, Lee covered it over and smeared the witnesses. This shows that the needs of the guanxi network caused him to repress the truth, love the darkness, and hate the light. So, where is the life?
John 3:16-21 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.
Here we see clearly that eternal life is connected to believing, which is connected to "living by the truth" and "coming to the light". If someone rejects the light, how can they have the eternal life? Witness Lee's "sense of life" was to build up his guanxi network. Losing face was impossible. So people got hurt, witnesses were smeared and ejected, and "life" went on. But it wasn't the life of the Bible but a parasitical life that fed on others who once they were wrung dry, were tossed aside. This isn't the divine life but it's opposite.
And yet people stayed. Why? Because their conscience and intuition were stunned, crippled, invalidated. Their ability to follow the sense of life was paralyzed.
We used to sing, "It's the life, life, life, that makes me want to shout, Hallelujah Praise the Lord" but if we hate the truth, and love the darkness, how can this be life?
