"Only the church?"

Hi,

Often when discussing with LC members when querried about whether they are the only true church or not, they respond with the line that they are "only the church." Obviously this is a dodge.

I am curious to know what responses former LC'ers have to this line.

For my part, given their view of apostasy and that they believe that there is only one church in a given area and they are it, it seems that they are implicitly making the claim to be the only true church, in a way similar to the LDS make the claim that they are the restoration of Christianity.

Thoughts?
