[UntoHim]

It's not real hard folks.

When Local Churchers say "life" they really mean the personal teachings and opinions of Witness Lee. This is why when Lee and the teachings and practices are criticized, from within the movement or from without, no matter how valid the criticism, they will tell you that "they don't find life in your words" or that they "sense death in your speaking" or some such subjective garbage. It is purely and simply subjective, and really has nothing to do with the life of God described in the Bible. This is why Ron Kangas can call Steve Isitt "a man of death". Criticizing Lee and the teachings and practices = death.

There is little doubt that this all got started with the teachings and practices of Watchman Nee. Nee never publicly repudiated or renounced any of the unbiblical and dangerous things he wrote in The Spiritual Man. In fact, history shows that he built his entire ministry from the foundation of that book. Of course Witness Lee took many of the unbiblical, overly-subjective "sense of life" teachings of Nee and brought them up to a whole new level of absurdity and danger for thousands of his followers. The result: A bunch of people running around claiming that they are "the Lord's Recovery" and "we don't care for right or wrong, we only care for life". May God have mercy.
