Indiana summed it up well, but with Witness Lee's words. Character and reality. Let's phrase what was said differently, but the outcome is still the same:
We are no longer in the reality of the Lord's recovery if we don't maintain the high standard of character and become rotten...
These two initial points of character and reality is only touching the tip of the iceberg.
Let's address the present. Where is the character of the blended brothers. Has their character been bought with the salaries LSM provides? One could argue the business of Living Stream Ministry IS Witness Lee's ministry. That being said, Witness Lee's image must be impeccable. That's why blended brothers, LSM coworkers, etc cannot repent for anything from the past. Repentance is bad for business.
