He is dividing not only the tranquil waters of the faithful in Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia but the hegemony established by imprisoned Watchman Nee as well….Even founder Nee will have to follow the teaching of the self-proclaimed apostle or find himself ‘jobless’ Asia News Reports quotes ambitious Lee as saying in one of his more brazen pontifications.” One wonders why Lee really came and settled in the US e.g. to help his children, make more money etc. Also, who were those brothers who checked him out since I know they went to Taiwan. Maybe those who were in disagreement with Lee were kept away.

Dave, care to clarify the bolded portion? The quotation's a little hard to follow -- i.e., is the article clear as to what it's quoting (or paraphrasing) Lee as having actually said about Nee?

(I didn't find the article online after a cursory search.)
