Re: Desire - Watchman Nee
Have you noticed that "desire" is one the 3 major aspects of emotion
listed in chapter 2, volume 1, so of course there is this chapter
of "desire" to talk about it. And there is a corresponding chapters
for the other two aspects of emotion-"affection" and "sensing and
feeling" or "life of feeling". Notice how this is a perfect
representation the Bible gives of our emotion (see the verses Nee
provides in the white cover TSM), but now compare this to the bizarre
alterations by Witness Lee,
http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/Spiritual_Man.htm, (http://www3.telus.net/trbrooks/Spiritual_Man.htm,)
so that now according to Witness Lee "desire"
becomes "hate"; "affection" is restricted to only "love" even though
Nee lists many different kinds of affection both positive and
negative; and "a life of feeling" or "sensing and feelings" now
become "being affected" even though one need not be affected and can
be in control of their feelings. Why must desire be hate? Desire is a
positive attribute which Nee goes into finding verses to show it.
Witness Lee takes a diabolically opposite approach to desire and
demands that it means hate by altering Nee's writings. Crazy stuff! I
believe the Witness Lee cult utilizes such alterations and
manipulations to find people they can control and generate revenue
off of. If they can give the false representation that Nee agrees
with them, that they think will give them power, but praise the Lord
they are exposed for bearing false witness against Watchman Nee and
shall be judged. Whom a person affiliates with they are guilty of
that affiliation. A person who has constricted emotions is a person
able to be controlled and this is how the LSM cult tries to control
people through shouting mantra in place of a full compliment of
emotions.
I find this extremely disturbing and hope some can understand to
appreciate the sloppiness of the LSM group that bears false witness
against Watchman Nee (CFP white covers). I am actually not sure if
they are just sloppy and mindless or if Witness Lee really knew what
he was doing in attempting to manipulate souls. In either case, he is
wrong and not a Christian.
But we can be most grateful for the writings of an uttermost
spiritual Christian-Watchman Nee (CFP white covers).
