> One of Nee's books became a manual for the Shepherding Movement. Here's another website on the history of the Shepherding Movement.

... in response to submission Why are the works of Watchman Nee considered cultic? posted by /u/katzenimo at 07/05/13 06:13:28:

> Hi guys, this is my first time posting here on reddit and I wanted to ask this question. Why are the works of Watchman Nee considered cultic by most Christians? I have read some of his books and gained a lot from reading them. I just don't understand why he is considered to be cultic. Many references to his works that attack Nee seem to be taken out of context. As an Asian and a Christian I respect this man. I am just wondering why he is frowned upon by Christians. Thank you guys!

> And this is the need I was speaking of. It's not an "external calling" from God. It's a deep seated psychological need to believe in God.

> > I think it comes from a need to believe in God. For some people, believing in a God just makes more sense to them than not believing in a God. And so there arises in such people a need to believe in God in order for them to make sense of the world as they see it. So it's not so much faith as necessity that is driving them.

> That isn't it. I make sense of the world through science and, if faith was absent, philosophy would be fine. This is like an external calling that draws me to a faith that, temporally speaking, I would be fine without.
