Lee's errorous teaching concerns being in spirit and out of mind.

How come the movement started by women (Ruth Lee & Elizabeth Fischbacher transcribed & edited his spoken messages into printed book form) doesn't allow women as blended co-workers, and no one notices? Because they're brain-dead is why.

Why does no one notice a supposed ministry of reconciliation (2 Cor 5) that won't reconcile with anyone, acting as if it were merely a guanxi network? Because they're trained (conditioned) not to notice anything.

Seems pretty obvious what the point was - irrespective of what's published on the printed page, one isn't allowed to think in the LC.

Those items are not relevant to this topic either aron..... just standard talking points you use in most threads....

However, calling brothers in the Lord "brain-dead" does not seem far removed from those solemnly warned in Matthew 5:22-25. Hope you are prepared for that.

How about "brain-repressed"? The brain isn't actually dead, it just seems that way. Dormant. I'm trying to stir people up to think.

It's okay to believe. It's also okay to think.

How come Watchman Nee got to think, and Witness Lee, but nobody else? What gives, here?

Some disliked my use of the word "braindead" to describe the result of "get out of your mind" in its various forms. My point was, why did Nee get to sort through various sources and create an amalgam "vision"? Why can't every believer look through various sources and drop what isn't useful?

There's a big peril in "monocropping" - just as in agriculture, it leaves one susceptible to the spread of a bug. Here's a testimony that used similar terms:

Some choices were devastating. Using Full Metal Jacket as an analogy, the LSM objective is to promote and protect WL's vision even if that turns you into killer, "a minister of death praying for war". Eventually you kill others. I 'killed' my ex-wife.

To switch metaphors, it's okay to put all your eggs in one basket if that basket is Jesus Christ. Any other servant, reject them on their face. Anyone who puts "ministry first" or "minister first" is fully in the ditch. Don't follow them. "Get out of your mind" was a set-up, prepping us for the Big Squeeze that followed. By then, we were like, "Whatever the Big Boss says is okay". Our brains were fully co-opted by a fellow sinner.
