At times this contradiction of persona was seen within the LRC.

The contradiction was never more apparent than the Febraury 1986 Elders conference. I know
Indiana has the audio. Historically it is worth examining. If anyone else has the conference audio, listen for yourselves.
As to whether Witness believed he was greater than apostle Paul. I did not know him. I had heard brothers who made similar statements. It is possible if certain co-workers puffed Witness Lee up enough times that after a while Witness was going to believe his own press.
