Double Standards

Why could Watchman Nee read all the Christian classics, balancing one against the other, and presenting a most orthodox reading of the faith, while we were supposed to just read Nee and Lee? Why can't we read Lee against others, comparing and removing parts which are unbalanced and impure?

Why did Nee have this special gift of sorting the wheat from the proverbial chaff, but nobody else did? Why can't we sort through the ministries of Lee and Nee just like any other Christian author? Why can't I go through the Christian corpus, just like Nee did, and find wisdom here and there, and put together a vision of my own? Where is the sound of "many waters" in the LC? It is gone.

How come Nee and then Lee was the One Trumpet? How come only they got to speak what was on God's heart in the Holy Scripture? The rest have to be Lee's "tape recorders"... what kind of a function is that? We're supposed to be Lee parrots for the rest of our lives? Where's the revelation, the anointing?
