Was WL involved in "the wind of teaching in the sleight of men, in craftiness with a view to a system of error"? Surely he had doctrines that damaged the Body of Christ.

There is no better description of all the "moves, flows, and ways" which steadily proceeded out of Taipei and Anaheim over the years than Paul's own words in Ephesians ch. 4. I remember how many times today's "new way" became tomorrow's "old way." Never was this so evident than back in the mid- to late-80's during the time of the infamous "new way." That time was so damaging to the body of Christ.

Those saints who had "connections" in Taiwan would constantly inform us that our "new way" had already become the "old way" because Brother Lee had "moved on." After all, Lee was only "experimenting" in his FTTT "laboratory." The local church would get our latest "new way" either from Cleveland or from a returning local brother, but there was always a saint who would get the newer "new way" via phone call. That one week "lag" made a world of difference as to whether we were "up-to-date" or not with the Lord's "current" move.
