Wow, thank you Aron for researching it. I found it very helpful and somehow releasing from all the deception and lies I believed. That is so true - we should never idolize spirituality, thus magnifying ourselves (or others) instead of our precious Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.

Just to add a bit. Few months ago I spoke with one sister over the phone, who is very strong about LR. She was very upset that I left LR after so many years. According to her, I left the church. When I reminded her all about the hurts she experienced from the elders and how many tears she shed after meeting with them. Her responce was: we are in the army and the Lord is training us not to live in our emotions. We want to be overcomers.
After speaking with her, I realised that desire "to be an overcomer" is a very strong force to stick with LR. I tried to do a little research and found out that the first who started to teach about the overcomers in the Christ's Body was Robert Govett in about 1850. He faced a big opposition because all the christians rejected this idea as unscriptual and dividing the Body of Christ (according to the Bible - week member in the Body is precious to the Lord and not the one who have to pass the terrible 1000 year punishment). R. Govett had about 200 followers and to my surprise one of them was Margaret Barber. Thus through her, this teaching reached Nee and eventually enslaving the ones in LR.
