While I agree that one could make the comparison between the LSM and these other organizations - I don't think it is fair, or appropriate, to make this statement quoted above. The LSM and their affiliated churches are, in nature and practice, flawed at the core by their steadfast devotion to Witness Lee above all else. This devotion to Lee has left a lifeless and dying collection of Witness Lee denomination churches marked by a spirit of confusion, exclusivity, and judgement - which leads to a quenching of the Holy Spirit. There are dear believers within those church walls and it would not be appropriate or accurate to lump them in with some of the heretical groups you've mentioned above.
