The so-called "experience of Christ" was constructed by WL to sell books and cassette tapes and so forth. It was mere merchandise, just as we the buyers became. Our only "experience" was to get fleeced (pun intended). And, Christ Himself paid no attention to the experience of Christ. Rather, Christ paid full attention to the Father. If He didn't pay attention to the experience of Christ, why should we?

Since Witness Lee was quite prolific over an extended period of time, touching on nearly every topic in scripture, if we limit ourselves to those items
not specifically mentioned and marketed in his meetings,
outlines, and books, so that we run the risk of
never being fleeced again, we may then unfortunately be reduced to a few Psalms (
as highlighted by aron in his informative posts) and the book of James (
much loved by OBW over the years in his posts) in our beloved Bibles.
Crazed ex-LC-er tearing out Lee-isms from his Bible.
