Do you mean you don't do it, or you shouldn't do it? Because a heck of a lot of people in the LRC did it.

You say that this is practical discussion, not a theoretical one. Who allots apostolic authority to others? When do they do this? How? Why?
That's my question. So far, no one has done a good job of answering it.

You might think that only selling WL books in the church book room is allotting authority to him. However, that was never my experience.
The overall effect was Lee got credit for being an apostle. Your experience is the exception. And the exception proves the rule.
