Really? I would suggest that Nee (and likewise Nee) had significant textual knowledge of the written Bible, but limited spiritual knowledge of the Word. Instead, he/they wowed us all with "unique" perspectives wrapped in speciality — a word eventually showered onto us all when Lee "established" the LC as in line with the "speciality of the Church."

And everyone in "Christendom" is left standing outside awaiting outer darkness. Some of us still think this is somewhat the case even if we have taken a stand outside of the LC. "Christendom." A perfectly good word. One that should not be the moniker for those that we don't have to be very (if at all) one with. (This is not from this thread, but still a little on point.)
