Great, thanks.

I wasn't aware of the "Deviating..." book, thanks. Looks like it was a lot of work.

And what of Ben mcPherson? What was his failure, his sin that led him to be shuffled around, amd eventually out; and where is he now?

Is Don Rutledge related to the Rutledge family that was in Irving, TX?

I always felt bothered that in his ministry Lee would point out the shortages of Darby, and other greatly used believers, in their orthodoxy and orthopraxy, but never mention much about Watchman Nee's shortages in vision and practice, i.e. physical NJ, exchanged life, tribulation being a return to the age of law... Etc. The only mentioning I'm familiar with is the difference in thought related to the two witnesses in the tribulation. Nee basically just took all the best beliefs and practices from church history, and put theminto practice. He definitely was gifted, but his primary function was mainly just to be a collector, compiler of recovered items through others. Lee took this collective base and added a little. Everyone did the building of the house, Lee just decorated it. No doubt he also was absolutely gifted and multitalented, however without, Darby, Kelly, Mackintosh, Govett, Panton, Pember, Miller, Law, Murray, McDonough, Paxson, Ryrie, Vine, Vincent, and Kittel, he wouldn't have much to say. If other believers are short in their vision, it is said they are "wrong", but when Née or Lee is short,well then it is said that "the divine revelation is progressive."

Also, is there really a difference between the divergences with the Brethren, and that of the local churches? They are spoken of so negative,y in Lee's ministry for dividing, but have not the local churches had many such dividings? At least the Brethren divided over the honorable matter of doctrine, not morality, control, lies, and ambition. This my understanding of the local churches divergences:
Some separated from Née in china
Some separated from Lee in Taiwan
Then in US there was he late 70's related to Max
The late 80's In Anaheim
The churches in Europe
Dong in S. America
And Titus in the Midwest in 2005.

Does that sound about right? What's with Dong is S. America? What's the story there? Isn't his son an elder in S. Cal?

Dont forget about the Ben McPherson story thanks.
