So first Chang claims that LC environment allows God to "directly inspire" each member, and then later he claims that the FTTA is needed to help members understand the Bible like Nee and Lee did.
That highlights how the LC operates. They give LC members the impression that the LCM represents a fresh/living atmosphere where everyone can follow God in the absence of tradition, organization, etc. But as it turns out, 'fresh' or 'living' is synonymous with subjectivity, something only a WL was allowed to define.
