Default Games Grown Men Play

Giving some thought to it, practice of deputy authority can be renamed Games Grown Men Play. Meaning in the local churches I would argue the doctrine of deputy authority is the second most important teaching in the Local Churches after the Ground of Locality doctrine. Without deputy authority, you'll have disorder, mayhem, and chaos. You'll have riotous meetings when brothers and sisters object to an unrighteous situation being whitewashed to where deputy authority has no influence.
Why is it a brother disciple by Nee whether it's Kaung, Hsu, etc could not be received by LSM coworkers? I assert it is because they're not playing the deputy authority game. An analogy, it's as when I was growing up with my two younger brothers. One brother is two years younger and we had an unspoken understanding of how we play together. My youngest brother is seven years younger and he didn't play with the same understanding so he often brought disorder. How this relates to my post, LSM coworkers cannot receive certain brothers if it means disrupting the order deputy authority practice brings. Certain LSM coworkers might get red in the face claiming authority, when they feel a brother is not "respecting the deputy authority". Going along with deputy authority, it's really all about playing politics.
