I have seen it from afar and up close. From afar where a couple is refused to be received in their locality where they live because of a blended brothers word to the leading elder.
To a wide-spread degree was regarding Titus Chu. Many localities signed off on his quarantine. Some of whom I have met with at one time or another. How many times have these localities received Titus Chu's ministering? One locality in particular was never ministered by Titus, but choose affirm his quarantine.
Up close where I had asked a hypothetical question on receiving to an elder in my locality. The response was needing to get approval from the blended brothers before the hypothetical individual could be received.
