Default "Thou Art that Man"

It is no coincidence I named my second son Nathan.

When it comes to the doctrine and practice of deputy authority, there is no place for the role of the prophet such as Nathan. Concerned brothers whether they be big potatoes or small potatoes within their function in the local churches, should they exercise their function as a prophet, the typical reaction is to "shoot the messenger". In principle it is not much different from 1 Kings chapter 18.

As Indiana linked to his post,

"To be sure, the Local Churches do have a record of colossal “missteps” and historic cover-ups unaccounted for in their leadership."

"In the kingdom of Witness Lee and the blending brothers there is no Nathan. http://lsmradio.org/audio/genesis.html pgm #43 Genesis
Dick Taylor: “If you in a sense are exercised to be blind to the mistakes of those who have authority among you - this is God’s government! - just exercise to be blind and keep enjoying Christ”… not that there isn’t any immorality or idol worship…"

Based on current practices, the prophet Nathan would have found himself quarantined for going against the deputy authority.
