Thanks for starting this thread. This is a question that I have often complicated myself. It always struck me as somewhat odd that WN held such great respect for these women preachers, yet the view in the LC is pretty much the exact opposite of that. In the current LC context, could M.E. Barber ever pass for a FTT trainer? This is essentially who she was to Nee.
