I thought I'd addressed that already.
So I would say some of us are still "recovering" from The Recovery, but not really sure exactly how to answer this. Concerning having WL doctrines, not actively doing this at all. (the phrase comes up sometimes about "not throwing the baby out with the bathwater," so everyone's pretty aware of the WL errors) Nee's "The Normal Christian Life" comes up very occasionally, but as far as any set "doctrines" I'd have to say no.
I don't know if this will help answer the question, but some saints here recently started a lending library in one of the property buildings. It already has hundreds of donated books from all over the Christian spectrum. Last I saw there were just a couple WL books (forget the titles) and perhaps 3-4 Nee books.
Below is copied from the SC website, and this probably constitutes as much of an "official" statement that I could come up with
from here:
Quote:
What We Believe
1. The Bible is the complete divine revelation of God, inspired by the Holy Spirit. God is both One and Triune.
2. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit simultaneously coexist and mutually indwell one another from eternity to eternity.
3. The Son of God became incarnate as the man, Jesus of Nazareth, born of a virgin, that He might be our Redeemer, Savior and Lord.
4. This Jesus is a genuine and complete man, Who was born without sin and lived a sinless life on earth, fully dependent upon God the Father, to make Him known to all mankind.
5. Jesus died on the cross as a sacrifice for our sins and shed His blood for the accomplishment of our redemption. Eternal salvation is based on faith in Him alone and is not based on any good work of our own.
6. Jesus Christ, after being buried for three days, resurrected bodily from the dead and ascended to the heavens, where He is both Lord and Christ, seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
7. After Christ's ascension, He poured out the Holy Spirit and baptized into one Body, those who have believed in Him.
8. The Holy Spirit is operating to convict sinners, to regenerate believers in Christ, to baptize them with power for service, and to indwell them for Christ to be their life, in order to build them up as the Body of Christ, the Church.
9. All genuinely born-again believers are members of Christ's one Body and fellowship is to be enjoyed with one another irrespective of differences.
10. At the end of the age, Christ will come back to rapture those who have believed in Him, to execute His judgments, to set up His millennial kingdom, and to ultimately usher in a new heaven and a new earth for eternity.

Whatest thou thinkest - are we overly tainted with TLR?
