So my questions is this; What is the best way to engage into fruitful conversations with Christians/Local Church followers, using the Word to debunk this doctrine, to help them out of this system of error?
Any thoughts or comments welcome :-)

Here is the way I look at it. They make certain claims about what WL taught or the importance of his ministry. It might be difficult to really address the issue with them as to how important they feel WL or his teachings to be. The real issue though is that if their claim is true, then where is the proof? What does the LCM have to show for it?
Some of the largest Christian denominations in the U.S. have millions of members each. By comparison, the LC has maybe tens of thousands of members in the U.S. and I don't know about other countries. Just the scope of influence alone does not support their claims. Obviously, a group doesn't need to be super influential to have an impact, but if they're claiming that they're going to "end the age" and nobody has ever heard of them, it just becomes an absurd claim.
