I understand why you prefer to shine the spotlight on the Bible and away from the absurdities in the writings of Lee.
The only difference between the two is probably that the term ISM may not be found in the Bible.
Other than that any complaint against Witness Lee you would have to first level against God, Christ, some of His prophets, and the Bible generally.
The term "Catholicism" and the term "Protestantism" do not appear in Scriptures. Besides those facts, I think Witness Lee's explanations were very good - all things considered.
I said "ALL ... things considered."

Am I suppose to be like, breathlessly waiting on the edge of my chair?
This thread has served it purpose as far as I am concerned.
There is no guarantee that everyone will notice or appreciate some wisdom of Witness Lee handling of God's word.
For my part it has been amply demonstrated. And the lack of precise counterpoints but rather vague gimmicks of general negativity have confirmed to me Lee spoke with quite a bit of wisdom.
It certainly is a subject with which he was familiar - building up the saints for the church.
@sonship saidThis thread has shown the writings of Lee in their full absurdity, and not delivered and cherry-picked here by yourself. (As has been the case for many years). I have learned things about Lee (and Nee) that I was completely unaware of which lead me to seriously question your judgment and susceptibility. Even when we have Lee directly accusing Christians of being in an organization of Satan, 'EVEN THEN' you battle to mitigate and justify his words.

Thanks for a lot of good free advertizement of the messages by Witness Lee. My own personal experience and the experience of others is that they never HEARD of the name until somebody starts complaining "Witness Lee said this Witness Less said that."
"And WHO is this Witness Lee?"
Then some go and find out only to end up thanking God for such a ministry on the earth.
So keep it up. Some seekers will only be curious to find out what all the fuss is about and discover what worth it is to read messages by this person.
"Now these [Jews] were more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with all eagerness, EXAMINING the Scriptures daily, to see whether these things were so." (Acts 17:11)
Recommended, Witness Lee's book entitled Christ Verses Religion.

I know that as ignorant slanderers spread rumors about Paul and his gospel then, and some had the reaction of the Bereans in Acts 17:11, so some will react likewise these days.
The wise Lord knows how to turn the tables on His enemies on occasion. His move is secure.
@sonship saidLee is not Paul. Not by a long shot.

Of course Witness Lee is in the same category as Paul.

Ron Kangus, a faithful co-worker of Witness Lee, speaks on end times matters according to spiritual life and preparation.
Sample:
"So we are in the age of the church. The Lord's coming back will be determined, as Brother Lee has helped us see, by His assessment, that in the local churches the building up of the Body and the reality of the Body of Christ has reached the necessary level. In actuality the Body will be built up in the local churches through brothers and sisters who eventually when the Lord comes will be designated by Him as the overcomers. We're not going to have ideal churches all over the earth. "

'The Lord is not building His church in Christendom, which is composed of the apostate Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant denominations. This...is being fulfilled through the Lord's recovery, in which the building of the genuine church is being accomplished...Roman Catholicism and Protestantism, as well as Judaism, all [have] become an organization of Satan.'
