That is in accordance with the principle in the Scriptures. Unfortunately, things have gone the wrong direction and men have tried their best to let the work control the churches. “Authority” has been emphasized. The saints are required to follow a person without any questions. This is definitely against the principle in the Bible. I absolutely believe that today there would not be the socalled “Rosemead Incident” if the abnormal situation never happened.” (from A True Account, 1987) - David Wang

Do you think it would ever be possible to have a single "MOTA" and a single publishing house, and yet avoid a repeat? Is the real root of the problem having all the churches beholden to a single ministry?
