Here's a decent one from The Vision of the Age (underlining added):
"During these fifty-four years that I have been in the Lord’s recovery, I have seen many people both in the northern and southern parts of China who had high moral standards and a noble character, who had learned deep lessons in life, and whose spiritual condition was good. When they passed through the Lord’s recovery or met with us for a few years and then left, invariably they found their spiritual service fading and faltering. This is an amazing thing. Those who have never touched the Lord’s recovery can still somewhat go on, but those who have come and then left invariably find their end less than desirable. There is not one exception. This proves that the recovery bears the vision that the Lord has entrusted to this age."

Maybe it is simply proof that "touching" the "Lord's recovery" has unintended consequences for those who do not stick around. They might get out, but they are still dazed and confused by what they heard/learned during that sojourn in the barren land of LSM. How could they simply return to their former state — at least quickly. If their old ways returned too quickly, I would suspect that they were either in the LRC for very little time and saw though it, or were just there for enough information to know better how to warn others off.
