The following quote was brought to my attention:
Quote:
There may be much sin in our lives or in our environment, but we may not be conscious of it. However, as soon as we become conscious of it, we must deal with it. We must forsake the sin of which we are conscious. We should not tolerate any manifestation of sin.
...
If we tolerate sin once it has been exposed, our fellowship will be cut off. This indicates that as Christians we should live a sinless life, not tolerating any sin that has been exposed.
Witness Lee, Life-Study of Exodus, Message 25

This is something WL spoke on not tolerating sin, both in the cotenxt of personal sins and in the context of 1 Cor 5. This is something WN spoke about as well. When the opportunity came for this to be put into practice (with WL's sinning son), those who felt PL's actions should not be tolerated became the very ones who weren't tolerated within the LC. Talk about a double standard.
It seems that WL had the habit of speaking what everyone wanted to hear, then when it came to put things into practice, everything changed.
