This can be somewhat problematic when quoting Nee and Lee since they were so all-over-the-board on theological subjects, and were apt to contradict themselves, sometimes in the very same paragraph!
In regards to elders/co-workers advising the members to avoid The Spiritual Man, the problem is that Witness Lee claimed that Nee was the One Minister of the Age and the One Deputy Authority of God on earth. He never said that Nee's earlier ministry was to be avoided. Actually he said just the opposite. And neither have the Blended Brothers officially repudiated one single word or iota of Nee's writings. Not one.

In the 13 years I went to local church meetings, conferences and trainings, I don’t recall Witness Lee ever recommending that we read Watchman Nee’s books. The impression I got was that, yes Nee had been the MOTA but now Lee was and we should “ drop the past because the Lord is moving much too fast.” as he used to say.
