I know you and I have been around the block a few times on this one, so I don't really want to belabor the point. But I agree that Witness Lee was a good teacher. Some of his teachings can be argued over, but he was an excellent teacher.

However, I agree with what someone said, maybe you. He was not a good leader. And therein lays the problem. Perhaps he should have just stuck to teaching and not leading. Stephen Kaung is a good example of someone who does this.

We certainly shouldn't bash Lee for bashing Lee's sake. But I think we can examine where things went wrong, and perhaps know how to avoid the problems that arise in our hearts. Because, in a sense, we are no different from Witness Lee. As one brother from Texas used to say: "We are all cut out of the same hunk of cheese."

And I am aware of your good credential in the arena of Christian groups. But I still say there is probably a lot more going on "out there" than you might think.
