Then I suppose that the only "proper" occupations in the Bible for Christians are fishing (Peter), medical doctors (Luke), preaching (Apollos), and tent-making (Paul). Perhaps I missed a couple others. Ahh yes, slaves and slave owners.

And all you computer guys, engineers, day-traders, fashionistas, garbage men, landscapers, sales people, car mechanics, etc. are all on notice for being too worldly.

Btw, Nee took his political views from Darby. Perhaps the exclusives posted spies at the polling booths to see if any of their members had become "worldly." I read what Nee taught on politics, and I am shocked at the poor teachings supposedly supported by scripture. Think of his logic: The Lord Jesus was not a politician, so neither should we be. But the Lord was neither in pharmaceuticals like Nee was. Didn't he know that "pharma," the root word for pharmaceuticals, is the Greek word for demons?
