There is nothing wrong with being devoted to teachings from Watchman Nee and Witness Lee.
We do not define any local church as a Lee Church as Christianity has a Lutheran Church ( after Brother Martin Luther )
We do not define any local church as a Nee Church as a Wesleyan Church (after Brother John Wesley).
Further still - We do not even insist that a local church
has to be devoted to the ministry of Watchman Nee or Witness Lee. The church belongs to the locality and not to any Christian teacher no matter how gifted or useful.
So you slander.
But let's go on. Why should I be ashamed to claim I am devoted to the ministry of a useful servant of God ? Paul told Timothy not to be ashamed of himself or of his teaching.
"Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord NOR OF ME His prisoner; but suffer evil with the Gospel according to the power of God." (2 Tim. 1:8)
If you had been there you would have condemned Timothy as a "devotee of Paul".
Why should I be ashamed of a man who was a prisoner for Jesus Christ for 20 years in a Communist prison, that God's people would be blessed with the truth of the Gospel ?
I speak of Brother Watchman Nee.
The day, however, my local church declares itself to be a Watchman Nee Church like some Christians declare a Lutheran Church or a Wesleyan Church, is the day I will say - "You all have fallen away from what Brother Nee himself TAUGHT. This is no longer a proper local church. It is not a denomination."
But to be faithful to the teaching of a servant of God as he is faithful to God is nothing for which I need any adjustment for from anyone.
"But you, continue in the things which you have learned and have been assured of, knowing from which ones you have learned them. " ( 2 Tim. 3:14)
You're a fool if you think you can make me ashamed so as to forget the things which I have learned and the life examples of the ones from whom I learned them.
