Unspiritual Riding the Coattails of the Spiritual

Praise the Lord the Holy Spirit is not as narrow as me. Amen to that. Christian Fellowship Publishers is not my favorite bookseller, but what you do find there is those of Stephen Kaung's humble translations and were not alterations like you find at Living Stream Ministry and making up new Nee stuff so it fits Witness Lee.

I make no money since I have no affiliation to CFP whatsoever. I have nothing to gain, but the truth in your heart. Just as Christ kept himself from things and so did Paul so they would not be blamed, so have I in order that I could not be accused of any ulterior motive so why do you accuse me? Instead of accusing of an ulterior motive, why don't you do as I have recommended, and see that all I have said holds true.

Get two books, said to be of the same material. One translated by Stephen Kaung and one by Witness Lee. If you do a detailed study you will see two different Watchman Nee's. One, the person, the other, a fabricated and alteration of the man, Watchman Nee so that he agrees with Witness Lee's new nomenclature particular to the Local Church system and not the little flock. This is unacceptable. See for yourself that all I say is true. This is not small matter.

Especially over the coming years, you will find spiritual men who are willing to take on this project of comparison to prove this case.

For example, in the Spiritual Man by Watchman Nee, translated by Stephen Kaung, you see the term "affection" used to describe one of the three main aspects of emotion, and then Nee goes to describe what affection is in Scripture and its different things it entails, only one of which is love. But

Witness Lee in his typical shallow fashion changed the Spiritual Man, and this term to mean love only. It is like Witness Lee goes to extreme with our emotions inaccurately limiting the depth of the message Watchman Nee was conveying. You can see how the shouting and screaming might come out of this not allowing the believer to have the full context of emotion in Scripture restrained by the Lord, making the person less well rounded in Leeism. Certainly this is a consequence.

Same thing again with the word "desire". Watchman Nee details this as the second aspect of man's emotion. And then He goes to describe this word and detail scripture of its various aspects.

But what does Witness Lee do? Witness Lee changes this word to "hate". OMG!!!

It was at this moment I began to realize Witness Lee is cognizantly purposefully and premeditatedly changing things to mess with people to control them and keeping them under control by his godship to them through these various methods, not least of which is limiting the emotion of man - keeping it immature to control people.

Think about it. If a person can have limiting emotions, and be undeveloped, then that person can be controlled with more success. It appears Witness Lee realized this and employed this stratagem in his cult.

Make no mistake about this. This is a common tactic of cult leaders which Witness Lee was well versed in his business dealings consummated in the Local Church Living Stream system. It's ingenious but also not of God.

I began to realize that you will find more and more of this in Witness Lee's alteration of Watchman Nee's writings and Lee's own writings of course. All you have to do is put in the effort to see it. And each time I did a comparison, the same thing happened again. A more shallow representation and an outright alteration.

Then I was noticing at LSM they were coming out with new Watchman Nee books, but where from I ask?

It was then I began to realize that they are making stuff up built upon the high regard men of God had for Watchman Nee's powerful writings.

That is that.
