Default Re: Whistleblower

Why didn't Witness Lee call the police?

Was not he the spiritual leader? The Minister of the Age?

The one who claimed to be today's Paul, yet unlike Paul, he never exercised to have a good conscience void of offense.

Why did Witness Lee promise to take care of these matters, assuring the brothers around him, and then covered up criminal activity.

The elders and saints wanted to go to the police. It was Lee who stopped them.

Legally, the victims must file charges. Then the witnesses need to stand up and speak to the abuser or his enabler like John did. Hindsight is 20/20. We can't do anything about what happened 40 years ago. Every case is different, but just because no one called the police then doesn't mean they couldn't have or shouldn't have.

We can only expose the sin in the camp today. We can encourage and support those being abused today. Most important, we can listen to them and believe they are telling the truth. If they decide to report to the police, we can support them in this too because it is an option.

My post #44 suggests a course of action to those in the Local Church. You could go to your local leadership and expose the matter. What you cannot do is continue the cover up by making spurious arguments that mimimize the topic and those who may never recover from their experience with Witness Lee's "ministry".

Most of all we pray for the sisters. We pray that this gross sin in the Body of Christ will end.
