No, if you drop Witness Lee, you get quarantined.
But, to be serious--I don't know the answer to your question. Why do you care so much, why do you have to be special? Do you think that being the "non-alternative genuine expression" is a healthy preoccupation?

That's right, we say all believers everywhere is the church. It's like the moon in different places, only one moon but many expressions of the moon.
In the sense of the moon we can be. For example, I see the moon in London and I say that is the moon in London. I see the moon in New York and I say that is the moon in New York. We don't say "part of the moon in London", so we don't say "part of the church" in London. Just "the church in London" is sufficient.

That's a cute analogy, Evangelical, but it doesn't fit. Because--again--"the church" does not refer to your group. Your group and "the church" are not the same.
