Is he referring to us? Because if he isn't it sounds like he is promoting a clergy laity system which, in my opinion, would be extremely hypocritical for a person that disparaged the clergy laity as much as he did.
Solid points ZNP. Moreover I think brother Lee wanted to limit the scope of who is qualified to discern leprosy. Specifically those who expressed loyalty to his ministry. Brothers who were no longer absolute for his ministry were disqualified in his mind for the sake of his work and for the sake of his son's reputation.
How dare anyone think it's his co-workers or his son as the office manager who were the leprous ones.

By attempting to limit the scope of who is qualified he acted hypocritically and he will be condemned by his own words.

You saw much of the same thing in 2006 was it when Titus Chu and his co-workers were quarantined. Sure there were saints as yourself and localities that wrote open letters rejecting the quarantine. Ohio, I believe brought out in his posts in those situations where localities rejected the quarantine, were deemed as needing to be "replastered" by LSM.

Evil Book 5

Elders’ Training, Book 10



1. WL refers to an illogical and unreasonable rebellion, although it was completely logical and reasonable to stand against sin and an LSM takeover of the churches.

A Test to Faithful Ones

WITNESS LEE: “The illogical and unreasonable rebellion is a test to the faithful ones. Any saint who knows the New Testament teachings logically and reasonably and who is faithful to the Lord according to his holy and unchanging Word would not care for the unbridled speakings in the present turmoil. So the turmoil is really a test to the faithful ones for their approvedness.” (1 Cor. 11:19) (Elders’ Training Book 10, p. 15)



2. In the following paragraph, WL referred to the “rebellion” as a sifting, or a kind of purifying, to the “faithful ones”, himself included. He claimed to be slandered, defamed and lied about, referring to the actions of former leaders against him. Yet, the facts of unfiltered history show that they spoke the truth. Still, official word has it that ”faithful ones” in the church were purified in the so-called “rebellion”.

See www.TwoTurmoils.com/PeopleChange.pdf for a truth-study of the alleged rebellion.



Purification to the Recovery

WITNESS LEE: “A rebellion always brings about some sifting among God’s people. This sifting can be considered as a kind of purification exercised by the Lord’s sovereignty to purify His collective people. Furthermore, the occurring of a rebellion also renders some purification to the faithful ones in their intention, their motive, their purpose, their aim, and other matters. To some extent I have been purified. During the turmoil, when I heard that people slandered me, and defamed me, as the Lord said in Matt. 5:11, “Blessed are you when they reproach and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, lying for My sake,” I checked with the Lord to find out if I was wrong. By such checking, I was purified.” (Elders’ Training Book 10, p. 15)

Well I hope this clears things up for any that felt WL was wrong in the way he dealt with PL, TL, JI, BM, JS, etc. He checked and he was purified.

Does he think that all he has to do is check and he is OK? Then I will simply "check" every time I run someone off the road. If they deserved it (IMHO) then I guess I must be OK.

Wow, I like that emoticon. I was joking but you are right, this is not funny.

Well...as one who was "plastered" I truely appreciate this thread!
What was tapped by Aneheim to lead after the plastering was "sad" to say the least.
"Getting plastered" takes on a completely new meaning!
