Let's face it, that weak, decidedly uninformed "endorsement" from a pathetically compromised Hank Hanegraaff et al over at CRI is getting stale...really, really stale. (woo who, oh Haaannnnk...where ya been? Haven't heard anything from you about Witness Lee/The Local Church in years.) How long before CRI produces a "We were Wrong about being Wrong" retraction-of-their-retraction?
It's interesting that they would still be distributing these pamphlets. Are they worried that saints might be "concerned" about the LC?

Like I was saying earlier, even if outside groups endorse the LC, that doesn't mean that people will start flocking to the LC. It seems to me that the #1 barrier to new people joining the LC is being able to handle the peculiar environment. If they can get past that, then Nee/Lee and the "cult" status of the LC might be of concern.

I would assume that part of the goal of these DCP publications is to be a morale boost. It's not like anyone outside the LC is going to be reading them. It's the same thing with recognizing Nee/Lee in the congressional record. It means absolutely for the general public, but you can bet that it got everyone in the LC excited.
