This accord helped me to realize that LC oneness and the ministry of reconciliation, so emphasized by Lee for decades, was all just a farce, and the real issue at hand was two ministry camps fighting for control of the LC's.

What ministry of reconciliation? History has proven when leaders lose favor with Witness Lee and currently with the blended brothers, there is no possibility of reconciling the brothers, but with God reconciliation is possible.
The accord to me makes it much more apparent the LC oneness is not based on Jesus Christ, but based on oneness in a man's ministry. You might be told the LC oneness is according to John 17:21. If that was the case, there would have been no need for a Phoenix Accord. If that was the case former members, former elders, and former co-workers would be warmly welcomed back.
