I am really surprised you could say such a thing. There are over 2,000 threads on this forum. Many of them go into the reasons why the theology of Witness Lee should be considered off the mark. The word "cult" is only as useful and impactful as those who are employing term. To put a sharper point on this, I would say it depends on who is calling who a cult.
While you're considering this a little more, you may want to take a look at Open-Letter.Org " More than 70 evangelical Christian scholars and ministry leaders from seven nations have signed an unprecedented open letter to the leadership of the “local churches” and Living Stream Ministry".

I think you misread . . .
I am asking if this is the main thing people object to with WL & LC.
It's a question - I don't know . . . to clarify
I'm asking if the "man becomes God" teaching is the biggest thing or is considered to be the most off the mark. Is it? That's all. (Sorry if I did not communicate that so well earlier.)
You are welcome bro. And as I've tried to effectively communicate many times, I am not a WL or LC apologist per se by any means. I don't routinely meet with the LC nor do I really have any connection there. Various ones I meet with do read Nee and appreciate some of his writings (I'm reading a really good one by Him now in fact.). To a much lessor extent, Lee's writings are around, but cited very rarely. So please, when I question what someone writes about Nee, Lee or the LC here, please don't construe it as me being all in the tank for them!!! Please. I am not.
But then again, since no active LCers seem to post on here currently, maybe you think I'm the closest thing - therefore y'all really do need me! Thanks - I feel at least a little needed now.
