I think this is true but I continue to question how aware Lee was of the natural and predictable output of his program. I don't think he really intended to build the Local Church as his legacy. I think he really believed that the Local Church was what God wanted built.

In other words, yes, it was "my way or the highway" for Lee but as he was so fond of saying from time to time, to him, it wasn't even his teaching...
