This became the 8 part Elders' Training book series.
During this time, Lee spoke out strongly against nepotism in ministry, citing Watchman Nee's specific instructions to him about hiring family members in the ministry. At that time, most of us had no clue that Phillip Lee, his own son, was 2nd in command at LSM. Oh the deception and hypocrisy!

Thanks for adding these facts to heighten why this is an important topic. I remember how this incident and Lee's interpretation of it was used by Lee and his followers to strike fear into us about ever disagreeing with the MOTA. And I remember when Phillip Lee was running LSM, and thinking "this smells fishy", but being too young to know better.
