I think we know the ground of locality doctrine for what it is mainly by its fruits. In the case of this doctrine, fruit has certainly been a reliable indicator. Maybe more so than other teachings.
I and others have read Nee's The Normal Christian Church Life more than once, and most of us knew that Lee never intended to follow the guidelines laid down in the book. Whether the book is scriptural, idealistic, or workable in this age is another matter altogether. Fact is, it was our LC "handbook," and many of the original saints in the LCM bought into the program due to Nee's teachings. Titus Chu tried to convince us, by examining the book, that it was the Blendeds who went off course, but Lee went off course long before.
