If the LC assemblies were really local they'd have resisted the extra-local money-making schemes put upon them by Witness Lee. Under his leading, parishioners became investors, later renamed donors when the business collapsed. If the church were local these kinds of fiascos would not spread like a plague across the body.

But we all know the answer - the LC local churches are local, but not that local. Not really, truly local. Just LC local; a different kind of local.
