Witness Lee: This is a lesson for us all. The co-workers in dif erent places need to learn; all responsible brothers in all localities need to learn. The eyes of the brothers and sisters all need to be opened. There are too many things we need to learn. We have acted wrongly in the past, including me, I have to admit.
I have had very painful repentance before the Lord. I am very sorry! I am sorry for the Body of Christ - not only for the brothers and sisters among us, but also for the ones in the denominations. You have to bring this message back and read it over and over again in mutual fellowship. Then you will see we were wrong before.... To understand and analyze this needs a fair bit of effort. Again I say, a few of you must come together through pray-reading, studying, reciting, and prophesying.
We must learn from our past mistakes to receive people according to God's Son...undeviating... not deviating a bit from the path..." (Chinese New Year Conference, Anaheim, Feb 1997, from his final message)
