Until the last sentence, I agreed with your post. The local church leaders have choice which ministry publication (if any) to receive. My points are these:
1. Receiving or not receiving LSM publication does not qualify or disqualify an assembly as members of the Body.
2. For a ministry to insist churches take their ministry publications and no other, how is that not denominating? Emphasis on the ministry publication is the denominating factor.
