And the LC 'deputy God' naturally determines what's normal and abnormal, proper and improper, applicable and not - how very convenient.

Watchman Nee's attitude towards foreign missionaries supported by hosting denominations has always bothered me. Ever read the story of Eric Liddell, who was featured in the movie Chariots of Fire? He died in 1945 of exhaustion and stress, suffering from a brain tumor, all while imprisoned as missionary in China, bringing the Good News of the Savior to Nee's countrymen. Meanwhile MOTA Nee was excommunicated by the church in Shanghai for his immoral and unrighteous behavior.

O the evils of denominationalism! The unforgiveable sin! Eric Liddell's last words were "complete surrender," referring to how he gave his whole life to the Lord. Yet in the eyes of W. Nee, Liddell's missionary service was completely discredited due to the evils of his poor, poor, pitiful Presbyterian host.

But let's not discuss that the LC's under LSM have become a far worse denomination than all the others they condemn. Neither shall we mention the sins covered up by these MOTA's due to their status as the "Holy See," oops I mean "Seer."
