Combating LC Arguments

Why did most of the LC co-workers allow this, against NT edicts? Because it's a guanxi network. It's not about "give to those who can't repay you in this age, and you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous", it's about getting yours in this age. That is what a guanxi network is all about. Leveraging connections and reciprocal obligations, to gain immediate and temporal benefit.

And if you break the guanxi network you're out forever. There is no reconciliation. Notice that those few LC leaders who stood against it, who spoke truth to power with the NT text, were summarily expelled and never came back. The holding power, the fear-source of the guanxi, is that if you go against it you're done. So if the guanxi can successfully disguise itself as "the kingdom of God" it gains enormous power over people.
