Consider the hypocrisy -- anyone can claim to be a "deputy authority" and you provided quotes from Watchman Nee expressing his disgust with that, yet the Blendeds continue to do this despite the signs that the so called "deputy authorities" were not. On the other hand they dismiss the claim that that the basis for a church is that they are meeting in the name of Jesus and the Lord's presence is there (after all why was Laodicea in the process of losing their lamp stand -- the Lord's presence was no longer there).
