Lee's "Economy" and the Fall

One of John Darby's first tracts was titled, "Separation From Evil -- God's Principle of Unity." Besides being all wrong, claiming our unity is man-made, and not of the Spirit of God, it is easy to see how this thought has permeated Nee and Lee.

Once all the members have been prepped into believe this teaching, the MOTA then can define "evil" to his liking. During the heyday of the new way, Lee and company defined this "evil" as "not being absolute to follow LSM closely." Prior to that, of course, evil was merely defined as all the "denominations."

Thus ... molesting the female interns, fleecing the faithful, cussing out men of God when challenged, or drinking with the young boys in the back room, are all of no concern, because after all "Philip was Brother Lee's most faithful co-worker."
