As with anything man gets his hands into, the thing eventually manifested rottenness. But I don't know that I'd specifically blame the system Nee set up - wasn't it really based on the pattern the brethren had established? Yes, the LC and leaders acquired too much power & things went south. That is the propensity of the flesh in any human endeavor . . . to gain more power and control. To me, anything that encourages the function and participation of the members of the body of Christ is a good thing, and the current system which Protestants generally got from Catholicism, puts way too much into the leaders' hands too.
