Preference for hearing, repeating and singing the words of Witness Lee IS (to a degree) a form of infidelity by way of abdication of a husband’s natural responsibility to his wife and family. Of course we were taught that God was going to honor and bless all those hours in the meetings. "Take care of the meetings and God will take care of your marriage and family" was the general theme. This was a lie from the pit of hell and we know that now. We can’t change the past, what’s done is done, but we can warn other young men that they need to take care of their marriage and family FIRST. The wife comes FIRST before the church, the children come FIRST before the church. If your wife is not feeling well and you have small children STAY HOME and help your wife out. The meeting will take care of itself. There will be other meetings, God knows they have enough of them in the Local Church.
