Seems that reasons for disassociation were few enough that we only really hear about one case in all of the NT. But I'm sure that Darby's legacy, along with Nee, Lee, and now the BBs would go hard against most of the Christians in the world. They are not in lock-step, blowing the trumpet of their current leader so must be rejected.

Back in 2003-2006, prior to the impending GLA quarantines, I read all that I could find concerning the first Brethren division, when Darby axed Newton and then Muller.
In a nutshell, I could find no justification whatsoever, and was forced to arrive at the simple conclusion that Darby basically lynched what he thought was his two biggest rivals in the movement. He seemed to follow no spiritual principles nor governing scriptures.
Exactly the same thing then occurred with the GLA and Brazil.
