You aren't saying that the message of Jesus is intended to turn every follower into one of the 11 are you? Or that everything that about leadership is ultimately for every one of us? This is not what I read in the Bible. There is leadership and there are followers. If there are no followers, there is no need for leaders. So declaring there is no need for followers seems rather empty.
And being a follower rather than a leader should not be a deficient position.
Seems that maybe the errant leadership of Lee with the resulting deficient leadership of the BBs is causing us to either reject all leadership (and not be part of any regular assembly of more than 2 or 3 people) or think that we should all be leaders. The former seems to mostly neglect assembling while the latter either over states the status of each of us, or ignores the variety of gifts in the body.
