I just believe they have moved away from the genuine practice of “keeping the oneness of the body” to the following of a ministry. I’m not a Witness Lee hater…….but have always preferred the writings of Watchman Nee over Witness Lee and I believe there are significant differences in their writings.

Oregon,
Point #1
That's been the teaching, but not the practice. Let's consider Moses Lake. By the time I moved to the NW, this locality was no longer considered a lc although I consider the Church in Moses Lake to be a genuine local church. There were saints who were clearly bothered when Moses Lake disassociated with Living Stream, so they moved to localities such as Spokane or churches in Western Washington.
In the last few years the same practice has occurred in places such as Toronto. Instead of keeping the genuine oneness of the Body, new local churches are created.
Point #2
That has been my experience too. I've read many books of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee. In reading these books, I have gravitated more towards Watchman Nee. I just found WN's books easier to digest.
