Excellent point. I was just writing on another thread about "balance", and my struggle to find it. But at least I'm familiar with the notion in reading through scripture. Proverbs says 3 times that multiple witnesses, or counselors, provide safety. Not coincidentally God has given us multiple parallel witnesses of Jesus, comprising the text of the Bible.

And Nee, according to Lee, was famous for just this: using multiple, seemingly disparate voices to create a harmonious whole. Why wouldn't Lee and his Blended Minions allow us the same privilege? No; instead we got One Ministry and One Trumpet. Bleh.
