They start out building the church, and eventually decide to build their own empire. Happens all the time to the talented ones.

But in Witness Lee's case, he co-opted the empire of Nee. And Nee, like Lee after him, was emperor; aka Seer of the Divine Revelation, aka God's Wise Master Builder, aka Deputy God, aka God's Oracle.

Rules were for peons. The MOTA made the rules, and didn't have to keep them. "Thinking the same thing" is a perfect example. The MOTA has the mind of Christ, and the rest must be one eith the MOTA.
