Look at the subjectivism in handling the OT text. Often interpretive rules were followed to the letter, only so much as the apostles' OT citations. Elsewhere the self-assumed seer had free reign to impose new interpretive rules.
Peter and John and Paul were followed scrupulously in handling the text; occasionally Peter and James were not. But where no NT citation forced his hand, WL could allow his subjective assessments to act as objectve realty itself, for him and his group. No other reality was even imagined -it didn't matter that Peter and Paul in Acts, and the writer of Hebrews, and John's gospel had given an open invitation to construct other narratives from scripture. And WL's imagination thus became the basis of LC reality.
The existence of the FTTA is to codify and institutionalize WL's subjective experience.
