When Witness Lee wanted your money, it was for God's eternal purpose, or God's move on the earth. When you wanted your investment returned, or an accounting of its whereabouts, suddenly it was his personal business.
To me, the only way to make sense of this is that in his eyes, he was God's Deputy Authority, and in his oriental cultural mindset God's Deputy was the acting God on earth. Whatever he wanted to do or take or say was what God wanted. So there was no discrepancy, if the entire LC was essentially in his pocket, material wealth and all. In the LC, the acting God is God.
It is not coincidental, therefore, that in mainland China, they began calling on his name, "Lord Changshou!! Lord Changshou!!". It was entirely consistent with the cultural imperatives and understandings of his position. Anything less would be inconsistent.
