There is somewhere online a comparison of what Nee's Original "White Covers" by Christian Fellowship Publishers said
vs
what Lee thru Living Stream printed:
Revealing as realized by many (apparently)
that Lee did in fact "counterfeit" and mis-appropriate and change Nee's sound Biblical Messages in ways that were meant to provide more control for the leaders in local churches, and wrongly so - damaging YHWH'S TESTIMONY and teh body of Christ.
The books Lee changed, and published by Living Stream Publishers have a wrong motivation and a type of control over believers
that Watchman Nee never exemplified nor taught.
---------------------------------------------------------
So all of Lee's ministry is based on Nee's ministry in a very real sence.
So no, Lee is not good fruit from Nee's ministry,
rather caused much damage to Nee's good name
and to many hopeful believers around the world
by his corrupting the teachings.
==================================
Lee exerted and taught with lsm cultist control over the members of what is usually called "the local church".
Nee never did this. (Nee was extremely accurate and true to Scripture without changing the intent or motivations or meanings of any Scripture, and without doing any violence to Scripture , YHWH'S PLAN, YHWH'S PURPOSE, or YHWH'S GRACE.
He was very strict in some ways, as in disciplined and mature in faith as YHWH accomplished much through him,
and he thoroughly explored and explained the many errors that are often present in churches and individual's lives, bringing to light, often, the root of such errors as explained in and from Scripture, YHWH'S WORD, and not man's vain philosophies or psychologies. )
One other thing is that many are saying Watchman Nee had none of his own writings but the compilation of his works there are gathered from his work as a publicist of his Christian newspaper articals that he ran for years.
Edit- Please explain what you mean - cultist control?? If you mean his is the only way take a look around the forum and count the denominations cultist control
Most of Nee's books , the good ones uncorrupt, published by CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP PUBLISHERS (probably all before 1989)
and called "the white covers" (perhaps unofficially)
were
written from meticulous notes taken by Nee's students over the years ,
probably as close to "verbatim" as any can be considered today in most any school.
There is a refreshing and vibrant and true spirit in Nee's teachings that IS NOT PRESENT in Lee's counterfeit publications and teachings he (mis-) used of Nee's.
Also a truth and stability in Nee's teachings that is straight from Scripture, not instead of Scripture, and not added to nor taken away from Scripture, but clearly and accurately in line and in HARMONY with all Scripture (more than others, btw).
Western (American) thought and life and practices are not conducive nor open to Hebrew or Chinese teachings of Scripture.
Western(American) thought and life and practices have long been known to be more self-centered, selfish, and UN-Scriptural than Hebrew, African, Russian, and Chinese Christians,
so there is much ground-breaking work that must be accomplished for the soil to be prepared, YHWH Willing.
Agreed, in one sense in that each denomination claims there view is the only view. In fact, I consider denominations to be heresy in the literal sense of the word - sectional and divisive. However, what I mean is that the unity that Witness Lee promoted, as well as the latter works of Nee, is controlling of people in the congregation. There have been many testimonies that I have heard from people who left the Witness Lee group of the control over them. Christ gives everyone freedom. He controls no one. Unity comes in the spirit by self realization and self control, not externally by other people.
