I don't see the recovery wanting that, not here in America, where our constitution disallows a theocracy, with separation of church and state.
However, offshoots of Lee, like Eastern Lightning, do seem to be Dominionists, and are linked to kidnappings, violence and extortion. So Lee's movement could morph into God knows what ; like becoming a doomsday cult. That's not a far leap. With Witness Lee as their personality cult leader, even while dead, they've got a good start on it.

This is really just fringe stuff. It doesn't apply to the typical dominionist thought you'll find today in the churches but I suppose it has the potential to morph into that in very troubled times. Catholicism during the crusades and inquisitions are a good example of that happening.
Think about this, if the LC succeeded in the one church one city mandate all under the supervision of one MOTA, don't you think this type of meticulous organization of the church would make for an easy target? And couldn't this possibly set the stage for what happened to the early church by the Romans?
The LC would then most likely be usurped and become the new Catholicism aka the end times apostate church. It's all hypothetical of course, but this thinking leads me to believe the Lord allowed a bit of segregation within Christianity to exist for this reason. As a way to preserve his people until Christ comes to sort everything out.
