They'd never admit that, but it's true.

I never saw a ministry talk so much about oneness, and yet could never get along with anyone else, neither insiders nor outsiders. They talk oneness, yet are so very intolerant of others. Real oneness is oneness with the Lord Jesus, not with some demanding ministry. Real oneness is the fruit of love.
The problem with the LC's is not the many devoted brothers and sisters. The problem is with their ministry leaders. They demand a non-Biblical loyalty which can only be accomplished by a system of man-pleasing. Their oneness thus becomes an outward show in the flesh, rather than the inward oneness of the Spirit.
