I spent some time here in Austin involved with the "local Church" as followers of Nee and Lee call their denomination. I found their worship to be for the most part moved by the Holy Spirit. On the other hand, I also found that these people worshipped Lee and Nee almost as much as Christ (although if you asked them, they would deny it). They read from their books as if they are holy scripture, and I think this is unhealthy. While certainly it is good to read writings about Christ, the manner in which one receives what is written is quite important. While studying and praying with their group, I found that I was constantly pushed towards Lee and Nee reading.
