The Local Church of Witness Lee is an anti-Christian pseudo-Christian Buddhist organization headquartered in Anaheim, California, USA under the title the "Living Stream Ministry" (LSM). In order to protect the secrecy of the organization, the LSM does not take a name for its franchise cell-franchises and aggressively sues anyone who attempts to shine attention on its activities. Franchises of the Local [[Church]] can be located in phone books under the nondescript heading "The Church in" followed by the name of the city where the cell is incorporated for business.
===The Church===
====Universal Aspect====
Matthew 16:18 <br>
"...I will build My church..."(NSAB)
"The universal church includes all the believers both past and present. There is only one such church, and we cannot add another to it. The universal church is unique." (2.43.572)
Mathew 18:17 <br>
"If he refuses to listen...tell it to the church..."(NSAB)
*Again '''Nee writes''':
"The local church includes all the local believers at a certain time and in a certain place. It is limited to time and place. It can be counted. This is why we see expressions in the Bible such as the “church” (Acts 9:31), the “seven churches” (Rev. 1:4), and the “churches” (1 Cor. 11:16; 14:33)". (Watchman Nee, Collected Works, 2.43.572)
*'''Henry Cotterill''', bishop of Edinburgh, authored the work "The Genesis of the Church" in 1872. He wrote:
"But the Epistlets of the apostle Paul give the clearest evidence that all the Christians of one city originally formed one church."
