Asking "where to draw the line" reveals a heart issue, a disconnect from our Lord and His Gospel. The question shouldn't be "how far can I go", the question should be how can I glorify and honor God through my actions. Man, it can be hard to think this way! In many ways, we want these RULES and we want a RULER - maybe that is one reason that Witness Lee and his ministry gained a little bit of traction.
The problem is that Lee and his "ministry" can't fulfill like Jesus Christ and His Gospel. What a beautiful, bulky, deep, and intimate offering we have though Jesus. Why would anyone want to trade this for a lie and follow a creature rather than the creator??
I saw this first hand in regards to relationships/courting in the churches of Witness Lee - these poor guys blindly following the blind (I won't speak for the sisters), rather than the Spirit. I am so thankful for my wife, our relationship, our courtship - it was a truly special time where God drew me to His side. How sad it would have been to miss out on this just to "please the brothers", or try to DO, SAY, ACT, COVER, whatever the LSM tried to feed.
