Like I said before, we all have the freedom in Christ to choose the ministry we want to follow. If WL/WN's material is not for you, that is fine. I respect that. But please also respect those who want to pursue WL/WN's ministry.

The material used the most is the Bible! Who decides is based on the context. At a Bible study the people who attend decide together what to cover if anything other than the Bible is used as a text, etc.
People
are free to follow any ministry they want. Of course! And if the LC system wants to use Witness Lee's materials and promote LSM events exclusively they are free to do so. But that's exclusivity. Others are welcome based on their acceptance of this reality. Like you said: they can accept it or leave.
So unless the young leaders coming up in the LC system change this (among other things) any claims to them being more open to other Christians rings hollow. Being ignorant of their church's sordid history just means they're ignorant of it that's all. I think leaders should know their history lessons if they want to be learned and gain wisdom on how to avoid such things in the future. But regardless of the ignorance level what the LC systems needs are structural and substantial changes not wishful thinking that a new generation will "bring back" the blessing.
