Someone would pick him up in that person's car and take him to the meetings.
Sal lent Lee's ministry $100,000 and Lee repaid $100,000. Even I, as a young person, donated $25 to Daystar and I was paid back $25. Money laundering? You brothers are presenting a false narrative. Having been a close associate of this ministry for over 30 years, I know of no one who lost their life saving on Daystar.
Where did you get this information? The Bible says you know them by their fruit. His ministry is responsible for raising up thousands of churches world wide. Check out any one of them to witness the comparatively higher standard of character and love for Jesus Christ among the members.
Btw listen again to the tape. Notice Sal giggle as he hangs up.Who is being disengenuous?

As far as Witness Lee's living lifestyle, I don't discount your words. However whose land and whose money was used to build the duplex? As for labor, we know in the local churches labor for ministry building projects it's expected to be free of charge. Yet land and building materials are not free of charge.
About Daystar, I know several brothers (one of them being my father) who invested less than $500 and were reimbursed. What is the testimony of those who invested substantially more? One brother I know of passed away from cancer in 2013, so he's not around to testify.
There may have been ones who did lose their life savings and that may be the one of the factors why they're not meeting in the local churches anymore.
Talk about character? Interesting when LSM published their Submission and Authority (est 1990), Nee's word on Character of the Lord's Worker was conveniently omitted. Ironically among the local churches whenever something negative occurs regarding a brother, the phrase "cover the brother(s)" is invoked. As a result, only the positive aspect of a brother is known. 1 Timothy 5:20 is never considered an option while in good standing with LSM. Thus a brother's character (or lack of) is never scrutinized.
