This is a perfect example of manipulation. In other words, do not turn to the Lord for a sense of Life but rather turn to DCP. This proves that brother Ron is completely deceived. It also shows that he is leading others in the same direction by instilling a false sense of Life through brain-washing. Eventually those exposed to Ron and his ilk develop an erroneous sense of life and death. This conditioning is not confined to the local church but can be as extreme as the political systems in North Korea and other dictatorial countries. No difference in method, just degree. Dear brother Ron: The Lord Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The LIFE! There is no Life except in Christ Jesus. Where were you when the prevailing theme was "Christ is Life"?

We have mentioned on this site, before, about the young Nee, still a teenager, curious, and not under any formal constraints. His only constraint being the counsel of Margaret Barber, and he even rejected that, because he had the itch. So he surreptitiously read the "forbidden books" of the inner life, and he got "life", so we presume. And that, institutionalized, opened the floodgates.
Thus we see "life" operating in the Maximum Leader, who could reject any other Christian peer. Witness Lee "didn't get life" in having any counsel. Additionally, the "sense of life" could cause this self-styled oracle of God to reject Scripture as merely the fallen concepts of sinners. And I'm not talking about one or two verses, but dozens of chapters. Dozens. Both Old Testament and New. They don't match up to the "high peak revelation" of God's present oracle, so-called. So the assembly got "life" chanting Lee's banners and outlines, but no life in God's word? What basis is there to treat the Word of God this way? Where is the Christian precedent? No, it is based on Lee's sense of life.
Comparing the LC life to North Korea, in this analysis, is not far-fetched. In both, the whims of fallen human beings are held as the equivalent to divine fiat. Something gave Witness Lee "life", and now it is LC reality; continual, ritual, habitual, and rigidly enforced by the program zealots and the mob they control. Speak something of Lee, verbatim if possible, and the assembly cries, "amen!"; speak something of the Spirit leading you through the word, and you get silence, and empty stares. If you persist you get restless stirrings, even groans and sighs from the LC drones. And then the enforcers will be on you. You'll be marked as "independent", daring, not under "restrictions" to remain tethered to Lee's ministry. This threatens the program leadership, and the stability of the ministry's flock.
Folks, if anyone comes to you, promoting the names of Watchman Nee or Witness Lee, run away. "For freedom, Christ has set us free; stand fast therefore and do not be entangled again with the yoke of slavery." Amen, Lord Jesus, amen. Reject slavery in all its forms. Religious, spiritual, organizational.
