How come Watchman Nee got saved by Dora Yu, trained by Margaret Barber, greatly helped by Ruth Lee and Peace Wang, and influenced by Jessie Penn-Lewis and Mary McDonough, but no woman can function in the current Local Church, in any form, except maybe to watch over children in the back rooms?

Why are women being held up as pillars in the LC movement's formative years, yet forbidden to even give a Sunday morning message, today?

If they don't permit a woman to teach, a la Paul in 1 Timothy 2:12, why then did Watchman Nee get all of his formative training from women? How can both positions be correct?
