As Jesus repeatedly taught, it's "the way of the gentiles", but it should not be that way among the disciples. (Matt 20:25,26; cf 1 Pet 5:3)

The Blendeds build their One Publication Policy on the sinking sand of Lee's teachings, not the scripture.

Supposedly W. Lee built his One Publication Policy on the practices of Nee and Lee in China during the 1930's and 1940's.

But if we read Nee's books during this period, such as TNCCL and Further Talks, we learn that Nee never mentioned this Policy. On the contrary Nee taught that LC's should be open to many ministries, and according to the leading of their elders, should be able to choose and reject any ministry they desire.
