And look at his method: Lee asked the Shanghai elders, "How did you feel, after you ex-communicated Nee?" It wasn't about righteousness, or truth, but about feelings. Nee's subjectivist "experience trumps all" was used against the church; they felt bad when they rejected Nee, therefore Lee had power over them.

"How did you feel when your God died?" Instead of realizing they worshipped a false God (the Little Flock with Nee as unquestioned champion), they were brought back, through their feelings of remorse, into bondage again. This is what happens when truth no longer directs the path.
