Re: Can you dismiss WL's ministry because of his sins?
Cassidy, If you really want to be a stickler about semantics you would have noticed that Jane made a clear distinction between “teachings that cannot be trusted” and the rejection of Witness Lee’s entire ministry. Most reasonably people would have picked up on the difference. Actually, I think maybe you did to but are just trying to stir the pot... not that stirring the pot is against Forum rules, but don't forget the old adage that "too many cooks spoil the broth".
None of us who were subjected to the teachings of Witness Lee for a substantial period of time need to be a clinical psychologist to know the affect they had upon us. The teachings and practices had a profound affect both the heart and the mind, and sorry to say that for the most part the affect was not positive. This is the main reason why much of our discussions regarding The Local Church seem to gravitate towards the “negative” side of the ledger.
