ZNP,
Unless the speaking of one of those few people is the Lord's speaking at that place and time.
Sometimes the Lord speaks directly and sometimes through gifted members and they may be few for the circumstance.

There is no doubt that the Lord can speak through people. But the idea that you cannot question or object to or refuse to follow or disagree with someone's speaking because "it is the feeling of the Body" is not scriptural. People could and did disagree with Paul even though the Lord spoke through him. People disagreed and questioned Peter before deciding that the Lord had spoken through him. This practice is clearly an ugly blemish.
WL rejects the book of James, many of the Psalms, belittles Proverbs and Job. What hypocrisy to talk about "keeping the oneness of the Body" when you treat the word of God disrespectfully. Clearly the "feeling of the Body" is that these books are part of the Holy Word of God.
