Witness Lee has Seven Gods

[aron]

The title of this thread is humorous, and not really serious. I don't know how many Gods Lee had.

Let's see:

1. Living Stream Ministry
2. Philip Lee aka "The Office"
3. Full-Time Training
4. Daystar/Timothy Lee
5. "Let's go Linko!!"
6. Youth Propagation Groups
7. Vital Groups/New Way/Door knocking
8. Etc, etc.

Really; I don't know. For that matter I don't know how many "gods" I have, or anyone else. But I wanted to adapt the title from a Witness Lee essay I read many years ago: "The Bible Answer Man has Three Gods". Remember that unreadable miasma? I felt I had to get something out of my time and effort, so I cribbed the title for my own.

My purpose in starting the thread is to make one point: that Witness Lee, contrary to his assertions, really didn't care about the teaching and fellowship of the apostles. Whatever overlay, or interpretation, or 'spin', that he wanted to put on the Word of God, that was fine with him. What did the apostles say, think, or teach? Irrelevant. Just do the ritual obeisance to the idea of "continuing steadfastly in the teaching of the apostles", then we do whatever we want.

Here is the formula: Whatever Witness Lee thinks = the teaching and fellowship of the apostles. Got it?

The last time saw some Living Streamers one of them told me about "The Ministry". Here was his lineage: Jesus, Paul, Watchman Nee, Witness Lee. I am serious. The fact that there was a 1,900-year gap between Paul and Watchman Nee was superfluous. I suppose that if I had pressed him he would have supplied Luther and Darby. But I didn't bother.
