I never said that a a true local church is "in the mold of that defined by Watchman Nee." WN changed his definitions over time like the creeds of the early church. Where convenient, Nee loved strict adherence to scripture, but where not advantageous, he charted his own course.

Neither do either of us know that the Church in Cleveland would object to my "Church of Christ" brothers up the road, who are not a denomination as you say, nor my elderly Gospel Community Church brothers and sisters who are struggling to care for one another in love after one family's house burnt down overnight, and he is now hospitalized.

One thing about you, Drake, you seem to know everything about everyone else, but nothing about LSM. That's called prejudice, a pre-judgment about others whom you don't even know.

Why is it you keep dodging the comparison between Lee and Paul's writing of II Corinthians?
