Is this a perverted word?

[ZNPaaneah]

I searched LSM to find references to Bill Mallon.

An article entitled “Being Realistic” was published in a periodical entitled The Word and the Testimony. The author of this article is John So, and the editors of the periodical are John Ingalls and Bill Mallon. This article insinuates that I am like the Japanese army when it invaded and occupied the Philippines in the Second World War. This implies that I invaded the church in Anaheim, taking it and possessing it in order to make it “the church of Witness Lee.” The article goes on to indicate that the meeting on Ball Road in Anaheim is no longer a local church, because it has lost its ground. According to this article, the ground of the church in Anaheim has become a person (Witness Lee) and his work and ministry, and it is now occupied by us, just as the site of the temple in Jerusalem is occupied today by the Muslims. Is this not a perverted word?

In another portion of this article, under the heading “The Nicolaitans,” I am categorized by innuendo as a Nicolaitan. In the way of innuendo, I am also likened to Balaam, who peddled the word of God in order to make money.

This article by John So also likens me to Jezebel, who called herself a prophetess and killed all the prophets of God, making herself the unique oracle of God. Is this not a perverted word that fulfills Acts 20:30? (Witness Lee, "The Present turmoil in the Lord's Recovery and the direction of the Lord's move today", chapter 1, section 3.)

Now I don't have John So's article, but on this forum I have likened WL to Balaam, I have compared the situation to Jezebel, and the complaint that the true ground of the Local church is the ministry of WL has been made numerous times. Therefore this quote from WL could definitely be directed at this forum and as a result I thought it might be reasonable that since he asked, we can respond.

Acts 20:30 and from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

Perverse things is a reference to Num 22:32 And the angel of Jehovah said unto him, Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? behold, I am come forth for an adversary, because thy way is perverse before me:. Balaam's way was "perverse".

In general perverse is to devise evil and sow discord.

Proverbs 6:14 In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.
