I'm very sorry to say but we saw very little of these attributes in the life of Witness Lee, especially the last 20 years or so. Since the blendeds consider themselves "brother Lee's continuation" it should be no wonder that we see the very same lack in these critical areas. The fact is that they are imitating their leader, their apostle.

As far as "The Phoenix Accord" is concerned, we now know that this was really no more than window shopping on the part of the LSM brothers. They had absolutely no intention of following through with spirit of this agreement, much, much less the letter. This was made extremely clear by the "One Publication" edict a couple of years later. Then the "quarantine" of Chu and the subsequent shunning of many of the GLA/Canadian churches simply made official what was a stark reality for many, many years.
