Re: Applying this to Witness Lee
I met with the LRC for 20 years (1978 to 1998) and this was not my experience. I never felt that his revelation "trumped the Bible", nor did I accept it because "he is the apostle".
If I disagreed with him over something (and there were things from 1978 on that I did disagree with) since they were not a matter of the faith I simply agreed to disagree.
I bought into the "ground of the church" doctrine because I was taught it when I had no foundation in the Bible. Within 10 years I had come to question this. But, most of the things that are brought up on this forum that are clearly in error I was completely unaware of or had no knowledge of the details.
Therefore, although this was your experience I know for a fact that it was not everyone's experience and I probably represent a significant percent of those who met with the LRC during this period.
