I was not discouraged, I was "steered". Our bookroom had both, I was told that Nee was "HS" and Lee was "college". But I ignored that advice. I had personally felt one of Lee's book's I read was a waste of time and didn't make that mistake again. However, we were definitely discouraged from reading non approved versions of Nee.

Reminds me of the two high priests involved in Jesus crucifixion.

I think the significance is they haven't had a fresh word from the Lord in many, many years.

It is pretty obvious really, look at a ? see how crooked it is. It even looks like a snake.
