I cut out parts of this section below before posting the paper at the top. I would like to share more of my thoughts on the subject here,

Lee like David, cont.

Like David also, brother Lee did err. I am not happy to see David’s blots on the record; or Abraham’s; or the children of Israel, whose names are written with honor on the 12 gates of the of the New Jerusalem in Revelation. But the word says of those “children”, “Behold, I see no iniquity in Israel;” and of Abraham, he is our father; and of David, that God “found him to be a man after His own heart.” I sympathize with the frailty of fallen man. I have erred myself and have blots. To point out the failings of Witness Lee and list them in the manner often done on this forum, and wipe out all he has contributed to the Lord’s work to build His church and prepare a Bride, is not to properly represent the person.

He misaimed and misdirected the churches; he misrepresented and mistreated brothers. But we should not misaim ourselves and dismiss altogether his six decades of work of faith and labor of love in bearing heavy responsibility and burdens daily in the churches.

He is responsible for his mistakes, and he himself has said, “I have made mistakes, even big mistakes” (Eph. L. S., p. 273). Shall we list them. I have already done so in the link below which I call Mistakes to Contemplate. http://www.hidinghistoryinthelordsre...ontemplate.pdf

I don’t list certain mistakes referred to on the forum that were from pre-USA days in which he showed the propensity to do damage, which certainly did come to fruition in the USA. I don’t list them because I don’t know both sides of the story of those occurrences with other leaders or those business dealings, and what happened in the Far East in the sixties didn’t affect the blessing of the Spirit in the USA. Both he and Watchman Nee had very tough jobs in dealing with other leaders. It is not that brother Lee did not care for God’s building. He did care for what was on God’s heart. But, like David, he has discrepancies in his testimony that he cared for God’s heart only. There is no anointing for me to speak to any pre-1974 problems. In 1970 thru 1973, there was a moving of the Spirit among us. In January 1974, Lee and Max stormed to the forefront and the changes outwardly that took place after that changed the spirit of the move inwardly. The move of the Lord was stopped. I witnessed this and so did Don Rutledge in more intense fashion as a leader. Refer to http://www.ourneedtoexamineourselves...entintheLC.pdf (Don and Benson)

Make no mistake, you know who I am; I speak the truth about Witness Lee and the trouble he brought to the churches. He was not like Noah whose sin could be covered. He is responsible for untold anguish, suffering, turmoil; division, devastation, and damage in the churches. He has built with straw. Because he and others, especially those he mentored, have done their damage, effecting hundreds and hundreds of people and the oneness in the Body, the truth has to be told about their deviation. So, I have done this for the sake of truth http://www.makingstraightthewayofthe...dsRecovery.pdf

This book in the link takes apart point by point, or straw by straw, that evil book of lies, and straw, The Fermentation of the Present Rebellion. It is a sin-ridden book of false witness. Truth is not its concern; headship of Christ is not its concern;keeping the oneness in the Body is not its concern, learning from Lee’s mistakes and listening to the Body is not their concern. The concern in the book is for Witness Lee and his image, to protect his ministry at any cost, and to further an agenda set forth by him.

This shows the appreciation of Witness Lee and his ministry is high, but, also the lack of integrity and regard for Christ and a true testimomy. I also have high regard for Witness Lee’s ministry, but not for the men who cannot tell the truth, handle the truth, or even acknowledge the truth, caring only to be in one accord on a path of deviation among ministry churches who support such an evil book and sordid past.
