Why don't they just be honest and admit what they actually are: The Church of Witness Lee and The Church of Titus Chu?

I would go even further and suggest that the ground of the LSM/Local Churches is the person and work of Witness Lee. It is not just the work (the ministry) that these people follow, but they also fiercely follow his person. This dynamic was much easier to expose while Lee was still alive - he had the final say, the final authority in all matters of teaching and practice. Anyone who challenged his authority soon found themselves "quarantined", or at least shunned from the Local Church movement at large. If what Lee said or did was found to be ad odds with the Bible....oh well...."even if he was wrong he was right!". Yet this very same dynamic exists within the Movement today. This is why the Blended Brothers can run around the whole planet declaring such bizarre things such as they, and they alone have the proper "feeling of the Body". Their apostle declared such things on a regular basis, and since they are his "continuation"...voila!....
