Signs of Not Having Spiritual Authority - by DCP

The first problem in Andrew Yu’s charges of “rebellion” is that he showed no concern for the actual spiritual state of Witness Lee. However, others surely did and discerned, with good reason, that he had turned from the right path and that his spiritual authority had waned. In a book printed by DCP and fully endorsed by LSM, Properly Discerning Spiritual Authority To Rightly Follow The Lord, there is a list of the signs that describe a person who does not have spiritual authority.

Excerpt from: - - afaithfulword.org Properly Discerning Spiritual Authority to Rightly Follow the Lord

Brother Lee strongly taught that no one should be looked upon as the leader of the Lord's recovery.

"I was with Brother Nee for years. We never considered him the official leader, and he never regarded himself in this way. Whenever someone thought of Brother Nee as the leader and came to him for instructions, Brother Nee would never say a word. Only when a person came to him for fellowship would he open himself to share something. He never assumed that he was the official leader. Likewise, I do not consider myself as the official leader in the Lord's recovery today."( Truth Messages , p. 32)

I have more than a little difficulty with those who ALWAYS say "NEVER."

I lived thru three major "storms" in the Recovery ...
  • The MAX RAPOPORT storm/rebellion/quarantine in the late 70's
  • The JOHN INGALLS storm/rebellion/quarantine of the late 80's
  • The TITUS CHU storm/rebellion/quarantine of the late 00's
Each and every time it was all about WITNESS LEE as the official leader in the Lord's recovery.

So take my advice, which years ago I actually heard repeatedly from those at LSM -- "don't believe everything you read on the internet."

Compare and Contrast the quote above of Witness Lee with this paraphrased quote of Lee, as witnessed by numerous brothers, including John Ingalls, and a member of this forum, Kyle Yoakum:

"That Lee! Lee has to be famous! Lee! Lee! Lee must have the credit! And if you listen to me, you do not listen to Lee, you listen to the very God in His oracle spoken by me....Going with God’s oracle, surely there is the deputy authority of God in this oracle. Whoever speaks for God, he surely has certain divine authority. I’m claiming this for Lee!"

When the SCA elders sacked Nee for unchristian actions, this was later overturned by Lee. When the Anaheim elders censored Philip Lee for repeated immorality, that was over-ruled by Lee. This shows that administrative power in fact belonged to Witness Lee, and was therefore not local at all.

I'll never forget the time Lee was discussing the responsibility of the local elders. He pointed out that they had the authority to choose when the prayer meeting started.

My jaw dropped. Huh?

This is not what I signed up for.

Default Re: One Accord

This word by Witness Lee reveals the spirit of the new way and is a picture of its One Accord - "like that of a political party" which stresses its own ism.

Amazing the parallel you highlighted between Lee’s “New Way” and Maoist rule. Quite jaw dropping, and disgusting!

Default Re: 9. Beating One's Fellow Slaves

All the writings on this thread, but the one on the One Accord, have been a response to DCP books I was given in 2009 by a Local Church brother. DCP was concerned about a leader in Brazil and one in the Great Lakes area, but, inadvertently were describing Witness Lee.

I read the "concerns" by the Anaheim brothers regarding Dong, and it was like they were describing Witness Lee! Really amazing. So it boiled down to, "If Witness Lee did it, then it's okay, but if anyone else does it then it's not."

If anyone else did what Witness Lee did, it would be ambitious, factious, divisive, forming parties, and drawing others after oneself, but when Witness Lee did it, that's not what happened at all - rather it was the apostle of the age exercising the proper Deputy authority and building up the Body of Christ to consummate the age.
