I don’t think the Body of Christ appreciated getting marched upon with banners declaring “down with Babylon” and such. How come the Local Church only listens to the governing principle of the Body of Christ when they agree with them? So when Dr. Walter Martin and his assistants, Bob and Gretchen Passantino, do in depth research regarding the teachings and practices of the Local Church, and find there are false and even cultic things, they are not part of the governing principle of the Body of Christ - But when Dr. Martin and Bob Passantino are gone, all of the sudden Dr. Martin’s wealthy replacement and Bob’s widow are all of the sudden the biggest and best governing principle of the Body of Christ? Yeah right.

UntoHim, your post ties very much into a phrase I've heard time after time: "the feeling of the Body". Another way to phrase a portion of your post, is "the feeling of the Body" only listened to when it benefits Living Stream and the work they endorse. When you or I speak of the sin of partiality, that wouldn't benefit LSM or it's work so it must not be according to the feeling of the body. LSM has used the turmoils to make a mockery of Isaiah 5:20. LSM needed to for it's benefit and say anything contrary to what LSM published about the turmoils is not "according to the feeling of the body". There are many members objecting.
