[UntoHim]

So, co-workers in the Lord's recovery, I see that you had to dig way back 55 years to get a quote from Lee concerning apostles. So that's the latest reference you fellows could come up with? Really? I guess that should tell you about what kind of weak ground you guys are on, now shouldn't it.

I've got a much later quote from Witness Lee. It's a quote from his deposition in one of the many lawsuits Lee & Co. filed against a Christian author. Actually I'll have to give a close paraphrase: "I DO NOT REFER TO MYSELF, OR CONSIDER MYSELF, AN APOSTLE, AND I HAVE ASKED MY FOLLOWERS NOT TO REFER TO ME AS AN APOSTLE"

Actually this corresponds with my 20+ years of hearing Witness Lee in person - HE NEVER, EVER REFERRED TO HIMSELF AS AN APOSTLE IN PUBLIC. IN FACT, ON MORE THAN JUST ONE OCCATION, HE STRONGLY AND CLEARLY ASKED HIS FOLLOWERS TO NOT CALL HIM OR REFER TO HIM AS AN APOSTLE.

And now today you brothers not only refer to Witness Lee as an apostle (actually you refer to him as a super-apostle - "the One Minister with the One Ministry for the Age") you brothers are now saying that some of you are to be referred to as apostles.

Apostles have names. What are your names? Also please list your qualifications for being an apostle.
