To recap, here are the good things I've put forth that I consider the LC to have promoted (again, not necessarily originated by the LC):

1. Open meetings - encouraging all to function
Great idea for home or small group meetings. Not so much for the general meeting of the church on Sunday/Lords Day. What good does "encouraging all to function when the "function" is simply regurgitating the words of Witness Lee?
2. The Emphasis on the Indwelling Christ
Almost every evangelical/orthodox Christian church I've been in the last 20 years has some "emphasis on the Indwelling Christ" It may not be emphasized with the same verbiage as in the LC of Witness Lee, but the same exact basic understanding and appreciation.
3. Calling on the name of the Lord
Although I no long practice calling "OOOOHHHH LLLOOOORRRRD JEEEESSUUUUUS, I still call on the Lord many times a day. I do not find this practice profitable myself, nor biblica, I have absolutely no problem with those that do! Call Away!
4. Taking in the Pure Milk of the Word
Do you mean just reading the bible? If so, why do we need Witness Lee to do that?
5. One church; One city
Described in the NT - - NOT Prescribed. Not to mention that the Local Church does not perfectly follow this man-made construct. There are MANY cities throughout the history of the LC that have multiple meeting places (or halls) in a particular city.
6. The Building
I'm clueless about this on. "The Building".?
