[Freedom]

With the new hall ready for use, it needed many supplementary facilities, such as a sound system, an audio system, a video system, and so forth. All of these systems were carried out by Brother Lee’s son, Brother Lee Men-tze (Philip Lee), with the assistance of two or three electrician brothers. They worked day and night every day with very minimal sleep in the night... This successful evidence had gained Brother Lee’s recognition and trust with regard to Philip Lee’s faithfulness and his ability to execute. This was one unique reason that Brother Lee continued hiring him to take charge of the LSM Leviticus services. Because the work kept him up late in the night— working on the video/ audio systems and the arrangement of the interior rooms— and he felt mounting excessive pressures upon him, Philip Lee’s physical and mental conditions were affected enormously, and his physiological condition changed abruptly. As a result, he became easily irritable, and inadvertently offended people easily. Thus, he offended a few people who did not know anything about him except that he was Brother Lee’s son, and they initially resented Brother Lee’s LSM station. Eventually it turned into opposition to Brother Lee and his ministry in the wiles of God’s enemy Satan. It was a great pity!

If there was any fermentation, it started with Philip Lee's attitude and demeanor. I posted to the above quote to show that even a current LC member admits that Philip Lee had mental issues going on that affected others. Why was this never addressed? If Philip Lee was offending others, why couldn't his father step in and handle the situation?

It is dishonest to dismiss the damage caused by Philip Lee as a non-issue. Notice how Philip Lin is ultimately trying to say that some used Philip Lee as an excuse to oppose brother Lee. That is quite a spin to put on what really happened. Never is there any admission that Philip Lee was the real problem.
