Recognition
The material presented in the previous five sections of this website was drawn principally from information about Watchman Nee provided by those who intimately knew him and worked with him. These were also very familiar with his ministry and closely followed it. The material presented in this final section was collected from others who did not personally know him (excepting the entries marked with an asterisk * ), and who are therefore likely to possess less knowledge and understanding of his ministry. In a few cases their understanding and assessment is even inaccurate and misleading. Nevertheless, their material has been included because, on the whole, they recognize Watchman Nees tremendously positive contribution along with the fact that the Lord greatly used him. A third category of material related to Watchman Nee is excluded from this website because the materials are full of slander intended to bias readers against Watchman Nee and his ministry. At least six of these books have been retracted by their American publishers; in fact, one was condemned in court as libelous and defamatory. Nevertheless, some of those opposing Watchman Nees ministry and persecuting the believers meeting in the local churches still promote and circulate photocopies of these disproven and retracted books.
Listed below are some brief excerpts from authors who have either referred to or written about Watchman Nee.
