God's economy vs Deputy authority

The legacy of Felix Y Manalo's ministry as God's penultimate speaking was curated by his son and now his grandson, who to no surprise became the Big Dogs of the Iglesia Ni Cristo.

Who rose to the top of the PRC Shouter sect? I would bet dollars to donuts it was those who took the lead to promote Witness Lee as God. That was the way to the top of the heap: push your man as Deputy God or even God incarnate, and now you've got your meal ticket.

So there are a lot of incentives, down the pyramid, to create these man-exalting systems. Those who exalt DG the most, themselves get lifted up as the system grows.
