I think "removing the lampstand" simply means the church ceases to be a good testimony. The group still exists as a church, but doesn't shine out to the world. It couldn't mean there would no longer be any church in the city. For that to happen all the Christians would have to leave the city. It is unlikely this is what the Lord meant.
