Sounds like typical LSM propaganda to me. When those associated with a publication company tell you whose publications to read, it's highly suspect. People should be able to choose for themselves which version they want. It's insulting that they don't think the rank and file member has any "discernment" on what's what. On top of that Nee's ministry is just his ministry. If it weren't for the LC placing such a high emphasis on THE ministry, it wouldn't matter so much how "accurate" Nee's books are in regards to the LC doctrines.
So as Ohio pointed out, Nee's books have come from different sets of handwritten notes, obviously resulting in two different versions of the same book. It kind of brings to mind when I used to go to the semi-annual trainings. No recording devices allowed. No sharing notes. What ridiculous rules. Especially the no sharing notes rule. What do you think we ended up doing in the study sessions?
At any rate, by keeping anyone from having the means to give their own account of what was covered in the trainings, LSM enabled itself to produce the official account of their "Crystallization Studies". I'm sure they wish they could have done that for Nee's materials.
