[UntoHim]

In the immediate days after "the Max incident" of the late 70s, Witness Lee did a lot of rebuking of the LC members for not being "policemen" - in other words for not ratting on their brothers and sisters. (a practice that was no doubt established/encouraged at the beginnings of the LC movement by Watchman Nee, and continued by Lee.)

Of course when the tables were turned not many years later, and many brothers and sisters took up Lee's call to be "a policemen", these whistle blowers were labeled as traders, "negative" "rebellious" "touching God's anointed" "poisoned" "evil ones" and worse. The ones taking the lead to be policeman, such as John Ingalls and John So and were publicly excoriated by Witness Lee in the most vicious and unjust manner.

We now know that this "policeman" garbage was pulled by Witness Lee time and time again going back to the 1950's in Taiwan. We also now know that a number of the earlier American followers of Lee were made aware of these shenanigans in the early days in Los Angeles. They should have taken heed back then and took measures to protect themselves and the flock. They ended up paying a very high price for their negligence.
