Can I be candid?

How can an intelligent, college-educated female sit there in the FTTA & not wonder at this? How can anyone not wonder at this?

Here's the link to Dora Yu's Wikipedia web page. Most of the data comes from one of the LSM/lc senior brothers, Silas Wu, a close associate of Witness Lee since the initial 1950s mainland-to-Taiwan exodus, who eventually wrote a book on her (cited at the end of the page). She was Watchman Nee's "spiritual mother", who was his (and others') "mentor" in the "inner life" practices. . . .

So how come Watchman Nee's female mentor got her own web page but today no women can minister in Nee's spin-off, the LSM/lc? Talk about Bizarro World.

The whole thing only has logical coherence if you see that it was always about power - temporal, earthly power - the acquisition and maintenance of fallen, fleshly human-centric power systems. In this light, women were initially expedient to the cause, necessary even, but once they were no longer needed they were put back down, "in their place". Shades of 1984 - "Four legs good, two legs even better!!!"
