I seem to recall some sort of self-serving, overly defensive statement from the Local Church minions that went something like: "We are not saying that 'We are THE ONLY Church', only that 'We are only just the Church'.". Although I don't believe this is something Witness Lee ever quoted himself, it smacks of the kind of double-talk that Lee used quite a bit.
I think Koinonia has pretty much nailed the very same point. By the way, WELCOME to the Forum Koinonia!
