I think probably the only thing I've seen is the misbehavior of the elders which seems to be backed up by certain old testament verses which Nee and Lee used to justify deputy authority and subsequently misused that so called authority, as I've seen evidence for, and experienced myself in the LC. That's about it. I think everything else is either a stretch or an unfounded attack
Look if you got hurt by elders etc. that's one thing. But to try to malign someone's validity by claiming their doctrine is wrong.....you better be correct in trying that. I haven't seen much correctness with regards to that

I'm correct.
All Lee had to do was to acknowledge that his interpretation of the bible was just that...his INTERPRETATION. Everyone who has ever read the bible has interpreted it one way or another, but no one has legitimate claim to THE INTERPRETATION that supersedes all others. Lee did that. You call telling the truth---"bashing"? So be it. You are wrong.
You should welcome a challenge to Witness Lee's doctrines. If he actually is the "minister of the age", he would pass the test with confirmation of the Spirit which would end all doubts. If Lee was who he claimed to be, there should be no abuse by the elders he "trained." None.
Once I was called into a "little dark room" and torn to pieces by some elders. I was terrified. I thought I was going to die. I didn't understand what they are accusing me of. I was so scared, I admitted to some of their accusations that didn't happen. I didn't attack them. They attacked me. (This was Lee's practice which he taught to his elders in those "elders meetings" he had with them.).
A few years later, I was called back into a little room that was full of light. These same elders apologized to me and repented for what they had said to me those years ago.
Bashing and maligning accusations is YOUR way to minimize the sinful behavior of the offending elders AND the errant doctrines/teachings of a man who held himself out to be the "minister of the age". If someone's behavior is wrong, their doctrine should be tested...Acts 17 gives us this charge. Actually, Acts tells us to test all things without qualification.
I was "disciplined" by the elders. They admitted they were wrong, i.e., what they did was sin...not mere misbehavior.
Telling the truth may hurt, but its not the same as bashing and maligning. You are defending Witness Lee's "interpretation". Yet we are told to test all things. We received Lee's "words", now we are testing it with a sober mind which Acts 17 calls "noble".
TEST ALL THINGS
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they
received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
We received Witness Lee's word with all readiness of mind. Now we are searching the scriptures and have found that many things Lee says are not so. We should have done this from day one.
