Let me answer my own question: Because "life" is a vague, mushy abstraction of God that can be manipulated to include a lot of things that aren't of God, like teachings of men, false institutions like "the Lord's Recovery" and anything else seemingly, including hiding sexual predators. Also, because if they encourage their members to get to know God, that leaves the door open for a person to get speaking from God that contradicts them, and they can't have that. They get God's speaking, you just get "life."
