Speaking of DCP I believe it was late 2011/early 2012 "Indiana" called DCP offering to meet with them. They were conveniently unavailable. Probably as Freedom said; "silence as an admission of guilt". Articles such as Steve Isitt among others they don't want to address.

What I have realized is DCP has an impossible task on their hands. Their mission is to defend Nee/Lee and the practices of the LC's. That simply cannot be done.

Nee is indefensibly because so few are around that knew him while he was alive, and there are now conflicting accounts of his life, and no account is verifiable either way. Nee's writings might be considered helpful to some, but any serious study could quickly point out the holes in some of his teachings.

Lee is indefensibly because so many know what he was really like. We have his ministry in writing which speaks for itself, but we also have the writings of former members providing an alternative to the LSM narrative of Lee.

LC practices are indefensible because there are documented cases of abuses such as misusing deputy authority.

Any way you look at it, it becomes clear that nothing can really be done to defend the LC, so DCP tactics seem to gravitate towards lawsuits, ad hominem attacks, and whatever else they can do to change public perception. That's what it's really about.
