I don't know about these false rumors Phillip Lin is referring to. However from reading Watchman Nee books based on messages from the 1930's, I do notice a difference when he resumed his ministry in 1948. That is the relationship of the work versus the church. Pre-World War II the work is to support the churches (Antioch) . Post-World War II it's churches to support the work (Jerusalem). In other words the churches need to hand everything over to the work. Much as it is today among the local churches.
Both Nee and Lee were the same. They both changed for the worse. Early-Nee and early-Lee were similar, and later-Nee and later-Lee were similar.
