Anyone who tries to minister in that locality from what God has shown them will get excommunicated, as Chu and Dong were.

The Super-Blendeds at LSM told Titus Chu this. It's all in writing.
"We have a voluntary policy, just like Nee had in China, to have only one publisher in the Recovery, and that's us at Living Stream Ministry. Since you didn't "volunteer" the way we told you to, we are kicking you out of our little Recovery Club. Henceforth, you are no longer permitted to speak to any Local Churches."
The Judaizers from Jerusalem basically had the same attitude towards Apostle Paul and others working with him.
Some have felt that the Blended's decision was all about money, and that's partly true, but their lust for power and control drove their decision.
