Of course they can always make an official retraction before God, men and all the current members of the Local Church of Witness Lee. My prayer and sincere hope is that they will do so.

They must have some understanding that they should not insist the churches only read LSM materials, or even read them at all. At least they understand it enough to try to look like they understand it. One hopes there is a shred of sincerity there.
LSM needs to go back to regarding churches as churches and regarding their ministry as something completely separate.
They are absolutely entitled to consider their teachings to be as good as any others. But they have no right to say or insinuate that their teachings are better than any other, or, God forbid, to try to restrict any church or Christian to them. They should simply minister and let the chips fall where they may.
This is the Lord's way to protect others from domination and themselves from pride and presumption. It's the way the early apostles took. They all ministered, and none claimed exclusivity or superiority.
Of course, their belief they are caretakers of this fantasy called "the Lord's Recovery" will probably continue to be a problem. But perhaps and hopefully they will soon concede that it was never anything but a movement and a denomination in the first place.
