At the end of his ministry in 1997, he admitted that he had made "mistakes" concerning staying on the right path of receiving believers; both those "among us" and those outside the local churches. He said he had repented before the Lord and was "sorry to the whole Body of Christ," yet he wasn’t specific about who or what he was referring to but did convey that those "mistakes" were very important and should be researched. He had really under-stated the matter, as history shows. It would have been at a high price for him to tell the truth regarding his "mistakes" and the major causes of division and the persons, places, and details involved. He left this heavy burden first to the leaders, and also to all the saints - that we might learn!
I became pressed in my church life experience to know our history, learning it from men of conscience who paid the price of offering transparent fellowship in the church; but a price was paid also by those who did not become men of conscience, and are suffering the consequences today, as are the churches!

I don't think it was easy for bro Lee to make that confession and it has been mentioned many times on here. I think that as far as the LC should be concerned, it should be the main focus of their attention. That is, the one they promote so very strenuously had something critically important to say at the end of his life. But it seems they largely ignore that speaking and have chosen to go on as if WL had never said what he said. To acknowledge it would take a real dying to self and humbling before the Lord, which appears is not present.
We can only conjecture, but I suppose if WL had spent more time, publicly repenting and exposing details, then Resurrection Life could have had a way to really come forth. But alas, that's not the way it went . . .
