If I didn't know you, I would think that you're being obtuse and obnoxious.

I clearly said "the only legitimate representative of the Body of Christ". Some years back Andrew Yu somehow convinced Hank Hanegrraff that a common motto of the Local Church was "We don't say that we are the only church, we say that we are only the church". The fact that the Hankster swallowed this garbage from Yu was proof positive that his "research" of the teachings, practices and history of the Local Church of Witness Lee was a joke.

This is to say nothing of the fact that when Andrew said "we are only the church" he really means, "we are only the church, and it just so happens that we are THE ONLY CHURCH that is only the church!"
