Who perfected the 'tone of accusation' more than Witness Lee? Combine Lee's double tongue with Kangas' mocking comments - "Why can't I be a worker?" - and you realize that these people have long since forgotten the gospel of Jesus Christ, assuming they ever heard it.
This kind of speaking is so far from both the letter and the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ that it can only emerge from, and reveal, an organizational entity having its own continued survival as its goal. It has nothing to do with the kingdom of God.

Clearly I could have fallen for anything if I was one of those sitting there, unquestioning, as this kind of 'ministry' passed in front of my face. I am very glad; it could have been much worse. God is merciful.
