Igzy)"What does it say about a publishing company when it publishes commands from church leaders instructing church members to not compete with the publications of that company"

That's easy. It says if you are a leader in a particular group you must fellowship and coordinate with the other leaders and not do your own thing. But if you choose to do your own thing then you are on your own.

Igzy, you seem to favor some kind of free for all among the leadership... like anyone can say, do, or publish anything they like even if it is not aligned with the rest of the leadership. I don't see any compelling evidence for that in the Bible. Look at this way, if one of the leaders in the Lord's Recovery in good standing wrote Chayil and wanted to publish it why would anybody be obligated to tolerate it being taught in the churches or obligated to publish it?

They wouldn't. So what does that say about people who find fault with them because they won't?
