Default Re: Has Lee really embellished and distorted Nee's works ?

Great subject Truthseeker!

As you may, or may not know, much of what is published by the Living Stream Ministry is not the direct written words of Watchman Nee. Nee only wrote a few things that have made it to English. One would be his monumental work "The Spiritual Man" (which he wrote in his 20s) There may be just a few others, and I'm sure someone out there can let us know.

Most of the so called "writings" of Nee published by LSM are simply the translation/transcribing of the hand notes taken down by various members of the original Local Churches (AKA "The Little Flock") There is little doubt that Witness Lee had full editorial powers of the translation of these notes into the English language. So mostly what we have is Lee's interpretation of what Watchman actually spoke. Now with Witness Lee's track record, can we really assume that these are true and accurate publications which we can trust in?
