I'm sure Local Churches organisation still get criticism, ever after Witness Lee is gone.

Ron Kangas is the one who said about WL: "we have someone bigger than Pope!".
Who knows... who knows...?

You are right! Even after Witness Lee is gone, Ron Kangas is wasting his time talking about Witness instead of Christ! He is good exxample of deceived Christian. They never say:" I am so sorry! I was wrong!"
They just die withe all mistakes. That is example of what WL has left.

That is why brothers in the lead rarely exhibited humility nor repentance.
There was an expectation from others to repent to them.
If brothers in the lead offended or wronged anyone, they would not say: " I am so sorry! I was wrong!". Rather they would say brother/sister, you need to take the cross.
I may be off here, but in the local churches I think the concept of taking the cross was a bit off. It is utilized to change the narrative when there is conflict between brothers/sisters. To avoid accountability, just take the cross.

Yes Terry, and how did all of the LC brothers in the lead come to the (wrong) same conclusion that this was the biblical way to handle offences?

Well, they learned it from their MOTA Witness Lee! Lee TAUGHT them that this was the way for a leader to operate in "God's Economy".

Somewhere on here we were given insight from Thankful Jane as to the mental gymnastics that Benson would engage in after donning his governmental robe - something like "When I am acting in the place of God, and people take offence as a result of what I said or did, it's not at all my problem - it's Gods problem, so I don't have to repent or feel bad!" (Not an exact quote)

To get a glimpse of WL's well established pattern - something which he trained all his loyal leaders to adopt, take a moment to listen to John Ingalls tell the sad story of how WL completely danced around any hint of repentance for his son Philip's attempted molestation of an LSM serving sister on the airplane:
