You know, I don't really understand Witness Lee. If his knowledge was directly from the Spirit and the Word of God, why did he need to read all those authors? If I had this "authentic conversation" with God, then all other authors and their books would pale into insignificance.

Maybe God spoke to him through the Bible and the other authors he read. Don't the EO bishops, priests and mystics read?
