"CRI's approval of legitimate NT expression only applies to us, because we're the local church, and everything good and true can by definition only apply to us." Um, okay. . . now I get it. Thanks.

Ducks and churches, boats and oceans. Witness Lee's School of Homespun Theology is now in session. On such fantastic landscapes the True Church is built. "It's like the moon over Miami. There, the tea is mingled with the water, and sonization becomes intensified." Yes, thanks. Got it.

Yes, tasty plants, and fresh clear spring water, and a lush green garden. Reminds me of those nice paintings on the Jehovah's Witness Watchtower tracts. So inviting, no? I mean, who in their right mind could refuse such an attractive vista?

LSM does not "need it so badly" as you suggest. CRI and the Christian community were wrong, and that was more or less their admission of guilt for lying and slandering the local churches, hence the title "we were wrong".
