In putting himself in the position of a restorationist, every attack against him is viewed as an attack against American liberty which in turn adds to a martyr complex. And it's this image as a true patriot and martyr that provides him ongoing support from his base.

The theory is that this is the same phenomenon taking place within the two factions of the Local Churches (LSM vs GLA). He had little respect for them.

Lee and LSM represent the liberals and GLA represent the ultra conservative restorationists. It's why I believe the martyr image is so crucial to GLA's ongoing conflict against LSM. It's also why GLA exhalts Nee but essentially pulled a damnatio memoriae on Witness Lee which leads me to believe Titus isn't shooting for Lee's legacy, he has his sights set on Nee's with the ultimate goal of restoring the Lord's Recovery to it's former glory.
Better take your politics to Alt-Views. Glad to discuss your theories there. And most posters are liberals too.

I had more than a few meetings with TC, and your opinions of TC never match reality.

Here's a far more simplistic and accurate assessment of TC: WL Good, Blendeds Bad.

TC saw WL as his own "spiritual father," and all of his mistakes were "none of my business." Some of the Blendeds, however, TC used to call "those five little boys."
