There are other groups, such as the Armstrong Church of God, that follow the ministries of deceased founders.

When studying LC doctrine, what I see is a lot of equivocation. The Jesuits were well known for this as a method to avoid persecution. On a lesser scale, perhaps Nee and Lee taught with ambiguity out of a subconscious fear of criticism and so opened the door to the enemy....? Point being this is just one way insecurities can reflect in teachings the same as our shortcomings attract us to certain types of leaders and movements. Which is why it's important to have one teacher alone (Matt 23:10)
In politics, equivocation is used to avoid answering questions that can't be answered directly. Or it's used to conform others to ideologies. In the book
1984, it's end goal was to put an end to independent thought, believe everything the party said, and achieve total control over the people and their minds.
Using equivocation can also give the illusion of multilayered complexity. With a lack of commitment in doctrine, you can literally make things mean whatever you want them to mean depending on the situation or agenda.
