It's a big shame blended brothers and elders are leading others into deception. Even when they're not blatantly exalting Witness Lee, it takes great restraint for them not to from my observation. Whether Blended brothers and elders want it or not, they are looked at as patterns in the local churches. When they exalt Witness Lee, they set the pattern. When they besmirch brothers who leave the recovery, they set the pattern.
These ones of responsibility should not be saying "do as I say, and not as I do" because whatever these so-called responsible brothers do is considered the acceptable behavior to model.
Among the New Testament writers whoever wrote the most was placed with the greatest importance in the local churches. Paul is placed with the greatest honor, then John, etc. Apostles who didn't write any books are considered with an asterisk as if they didn't have a vision for "God's Economy".
