The problem is that when the average Christian, in his local community church, hears the pastor/speaker say something that is a "little off", he can do some fact checking in the works/writings of as many orthodox teachers, theologians and apologists as he can get his hands on. The average Local Churcher cannot do this. They must swallow and accept Witness Lee wholesale. All other teachings are to be considered as the dead teachings of man. Only Lee's teachings have life, and only Lee's teachings are recovered truth.

Sadly, the phenomenon I have described above is still in alive and well in the Local Church of Witness Lee. And this is why we have one prominent ministry leader boldly proclaiming that he "is full of Witness Lee's spirit!" (Minoru Chen) and another leader: "The Recovery has reached the stage of the full recovery of the ministry, the vision given to the apostles! I'm not exalting anyone, it's just the fact! Darby did not have Brother Nee's constitution! Luther didn't have Brother Lee's constitution!"(Ron Kangas) These are not words of sober, godly men. These are the rantings of men who have sold their souls to follow a human being and his so called "ministry of the age". And this is why the Local Church of Witness Lee is widely known as a personality cult of sorts....at least it is to most of the very few people who have ever heard of Witness Lee and the Local Church.
