Kinnear thinks that Nee was also stimulated by the business world, and that this played a part in his decision. Angus I. Kinnear, Against the Tide: The Story of Watchman Nee, pp. (no page reference given by Dennis). Cliff sees this period as a clear breech on Nee's part of his own teaching on church finance. However, he does not explain his reasoning, and I am more inclined to agree with Kinnear that it was in harmony with his teaching in Concerning our Missions. See Norman H. Cliff, "Watchman Nee-- Church Planter and Preacher of Holiness," Evangelical Review of Theology, Vol.8 No. 2 (Oct. 1984):p. 294

The truth of this matter is that Watchman Nee inherited a business, and proceeded to then sell it, using all the proceeds for his ministry. Don't blame Nee for family inheritance. Kinnear is wrong on many details and so too is Cliff. And Dennis was in error here for stating that he agrees with Kinnear that Nee was stimulated with the business world. Nee was not stimulated by the business world for I have seen no proof to that affect.
