The co-workers, no matter their specialty all agree on the need for one publication and they use that as a common touchstone from which to execute their individual function.
That makes perfect sense. Why wouldn't it work that way?
At minimum the "we" and "us" are the co-workers the signatories to the document. However, if you asked the brothers and sisters in the local churches if they hold the same sentiment I am pretty sure that the majority would agree. Yet, technically speaking the "we and "us" must refer to the co-workers who are carrying out the ministry and signed the document.

This post is entirely deceptive. This One Publication "Policy" was an edict, not just for all those on the LSM paid staff, but for all those related to LC's around the globe.
The actual edict to the workers around the globe was not just to stop publishing, but to stop ministering, to cease and desist, and allow LSM to rule all the LC's. Read the warning letters sent to Titus Chu by these "co-workers." LSM's threats of takeover not just affected TC's publishing interests, but impacted every Midwest elder and LC. Every Midwest elder was to be brought under LSM's dominion.
Don't believe me? Go back and read these letters. And take a good hard look at the callous attitude displayed by these "coworkers" towards the actual churches and the saints. But make no mistake about it. What LSM has done was no different than what the Judaizers did to Paul and his ministry among the Gentiles. The names and the details may have changed, but the motives and the methods have remained the same.
