If there is to be a demarcation between early-Nee and later-Nee, then I would say we must determine when Watchman may have taken his focus off the gospel and “teaching them everything I have commanded”.

UntoHim, two key indirect components between "early Nee" and "later Nee" was World War II and the increasing control of China by the Communists following World War II. Maybe Watchman Nee saw a need for the work to continue in other parts of Southeast Asia. I don't see it as what was later known as the recovery, but sending workers to different parts of Southeast Asia to spread the gospel.
I wonder if brothers who are still living from the post WWII era have an account to give regarding Watchman Nee's intent. Was it to spread the gospel via decentralized work or by a centralized work?
