I see a lot of sublimated superstition in the ministries of both. It is not as blatant as elsewhere, so it's doubly dangerous. Certain things are emphasized, even obsessively so. Certain things are ignored, or waved off. Bias, ignorance and self-interest. Just like the rest of us.

Apostle Paul (and the Twelve) were regularly held up to fiery examination in public scrutiny, unlike Witness Lee who wilted and filed lawsuits. Not only were Lee's methods and teachings beyond consideration, but mere opinions about them were censured and threatened with the leprosy of Meriam.
