This I can attest to, and was guilty of as well. It took me years, even after I stopped meeting with the "local churches", to wean myself from the voice of Witness Lee. The "interpreted word" seemingly held some fresh, potent power, and the "plain" word, uninterpreted, seemed lacking in comparison. It was as if Lee had "crystallized" the words of spirit and life and intensified them fourfold, if not sevenfold.

It took me years to get over that effect. And not without a struggle, either.
