I think the title is appropriate: where in this paper is Witness Lee's phone call to Sal Benoit, telling him the LC "investors" took a bath on Daystar and they lost their virginity? Invisibility.

Where's the story of the "unspiritual chef" who Lee put in charge of his "kitchen", who repeatedly molested the help, causing thousands of church members to exit in what Lee called "rebellion"? Invisibility, again; multiple invisibilities.

The fact that one can't point out glaring flaws such as nepotism with sons Timothy and Philip(the 2 stories above), shows that the minister, his ministry, and the organization he founded were and are deeply affected by human culture, which culture Lee always maintained didn't exist anymore. In the LC, whatever you do, don't criticize the "Big Boss", aka God's humble bondslave. In the People's Republic of China, you can get fired for publicly pointing out Chairman Mao's mistakes, 40 years after his death; in the Local Church of the Living Stream Ministry, you'll likewise get expelled as "leprous" or "rebellious" if you mention any of Witness Lee's flaws, 20 years after his death.

Those all-too-human flaws are now rendered invisible; so much that you don't notice that they're invisible. Which was the idea.
