No, Watchman, in the Bible there are NOT "only brothers". Did you tear Ephesians 4:11 out of your Bible? "And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers." No, Watchman, the pastoral system is NOT merely "man's tradition", it is a biblical tradition. Watchman, you appointed pastors in your Local Church system. You called them "elders". And then you appointed yourself as the super-apostle of your Local Church system. And then you appointed Witness Lee to be your continuation in Taiwan. You knew Lee's character. You knew what kind of man he was. Still you gave over the Little Flock to a wolf.

Now Watchman, look at what has become of your Little Flock. Look what has become of the system you created. Would the sheep not have been better off going back that poor, poor fold? Would the sheep not have been better off in the care of those poor, poor pastors in that poor, poor fold?
