In some cases the equivocation is blatant, obvious. Women are on one hand pillars of the recovery light, and then they can't teach, because "Paul said so". At one point the psalmist's imprecations are Christ defeating Satan, elsewhere the psalmist is entertaining "fallen human concepts" for similar sentiments. Early Nee was all about independent local churches (free from Western control, natch) and Later Nee "recovered" centralised control (under his aegis, natch). Lee said there was one spiritual giant per age, then when he died his lieutenants said the age of spiritual giants was over.

And none could question any of these obviously questionable assertions or they'd be expelled from the assembly. What sort of spirit is at work, here?
