But that's not what Nee meant by "special." What he meant was that everyone else was doing it wrong and he was called to do it right. To him everyone else was a sect, movement or organization (which to him was short of the ideal and wrong), and he was not going to be those things.
The problem is he never figured out how not to be a movement or organization. All he did was claim not to be one and continued to want to be special and different. And, with excruciating irony, in the end he made a sect. Because when you claim to be special and you really mean "better," that's what you become.
