1. The discrepancy what
www.afaithfulword.org presents in
Quarantine in the Bible and in Practice is a good word, but is not indicative of the Recovery practices of quarantines. Pertaining to the late 80's quarantine is not giving grace to those saints who left, but rather discounting them as rebellious. In regard to the late 80's quarantine, nothing by LSM is ever acknowledged about Phillip Lee's role. Specifically brothers who reacted to Phillip's ethics and morals, were very ones who became quarantined.
2. LSM's extra-local interferences with a local church's administration. You can be an elder in a locality, once a blended co-worker speaks a word whom not to receive, you as the elder will "take heed" from the blended co-worker's fellowship not to receive that brother or that sister.....even if you as the elder has had a positive history with that brother or sister.
A phrase from hymn 824 in the 6th stanza
Administration local,
Each answ'ring to the Lord;
Generally this is not the case. Those who follow through with each administration local, each answering to the Lord generally find themselves out of fellowship with LSM. Such localities are Moses Lake, Rosemead, Goshen, Detroit, Columbus, etc.
