The Bible provides a case study in moral or civil (dis)obedience. In Acts 5.29, Peter told the authorities, "
it is necessary to obey God rather than man." Concerning Lee's comment about a "pure lie," why even go there? Why even suggest that "
a lie is not a lie if it's pure." Think about how many "back door escapes" Witness Lee just provided. His only caveat is "do not misunderstand me."
This reminds me of an old LC'er who told me that we
have to "lie" to our spouses. "I do it all the time," he said, "I tell her every day how beautiful she is!"
