Ironically that's the image LSM wants to present publically, but internally the LSM projects the local churches as where the overcomers will be produced.
They regard the Body of Christ being composed of brothers and sisters meeting with the local churches. LSM affiliated of course.

I think any notion of throwing out things that are part of their "uniqueness" is of big concern to them. If they throw enough things out the window, they become like everyone else, just an average group. If it wasn't for the notion that the LC contains God's remnant, I'm sure many would have left for other groups already. I mean the meetings are boring, dry, and feel like a time capsule from 50 years ago.
