As long as it's clear that their comments are merely
their views of LC system history. Usually they are not stated as such or have any disclaimer rather they are set forth as the truth regarding the history of the LC system and therefore invite challenge.
Consider the quote from Don Rutledge that in 1974 "is when the concept of the work began..." Actually we know that the concept of "the work" is an integral part of Watchman Nee's teachings e.g. "The Normal Christian Church Life". This was nothing new in 1974 except maybe to Don Rutledge in which case he should say it was a new concept
to him and not make a sweeping generalization that encompasses the entire LC system.
