You said, "Paul never forced the Jewish believers to acknowledge his apostleship." Well, as far as Anaheim is concerned, they never *forced* anyone to accept their authority, either. But as long as the Midwest does not accept their authority, they will remain...separate. Like the separation between Jerusalem and Paul's ministry.

Say what you want, the quarantine letter of TC was the BBs forcing TC to accept the "apostolic authority" of LSM.
In that letter their primary accusation was accusing TC of "separating themselves from the vast majority of the churches, saints, leading brothers, and coworkers throughout the whole earth who are seeking to be faithful to the entire ministry of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee, which is the New Testament Ministry”
In essence he and the churches associated with TC were excommunicated because they were not "seeking to be faithful to the entire ministry of WN and WL", of course it is LSM and the BBs that define what exactly that means.
