Proclaiming that all other Christians are reprobate for taking the table on the wrong ground is clearly an example of something that should be reconciled prior to taking the Lord's table.
According to WL and the Blindeds, the "true" remembrance of the Lord at His table can only be legitimately celebrated by churches on "the proper ground" of oneness. There is not a single Table meeting or Communion service in all of Christendom which they would recognize as licit and scriptural.

Actually their hypocrisy has been exposed on countless occasions that the "true" standard of their approval, getting past all the hype and jive so characteristic with LSM, is not the "ground of oneness" per se, but it is your relationship with LSM. As we have seen with the quarantine of GLA churches, adherence to proper Lee and Nee teachings on the subject are grossly inadequate. Only the president at LSM, Benson Philips himself, can properly determine who has the correct interpretation of the teachings of Lee and Nee.

Even though Titus Chu and the rest of the Great Lakes Area churches had all the proper teachings concerning the "ground of oneness," and many in fact had been practicing this way for decades, they were not willing to comply with the growing list of requirements which accompany local church legitimacy, without which their Table must be considered just another division in the body of Christ.

Some of these mandates have been made public by LSM in their "afaithfulword.com" website: rejection of drums, daily use of The Holy Word for Morning Revival, weekly prophecying meetings using the same, attendance at LSM's 7 annual "Feasts," etc. In other words, your Table meeting can be completely invalidated if one of your members plays an electric guitar.

Funny thing is the exclusive Darby Brethren taught that Table legitimacy was voided by using a piano. John Nelson Darby, the supposed Minister of the Age directly preceding Watchman Nee taught that musical accompaniment from a piano was "sensual" and not spiritual. The standards he imposed on churches still exist today.
