Another way they could "spin" controversy in their favor was to couple it with some new teaching or practice. In other words, the MOTA was always on the cutting edge, but the rest of us resisted change, and thus pushback developed. Kind of like
that commercial for G.E. where the alien baby named "IDEA" was rejected by all until General Electric accepted it -- supposedly these "
ideas are frightening because they threaten what is known, the natural born enemy of the way things are."
Hence Nee was put out because of his burden to evangelize China, Lee was attacked because of his "new way" burden to evangelize the whole earth and release "high peaks," Lee was chased out of Taiwan in the '50's because he released "calling on the Lord" or some such.
