I'm sure they have verses to support their abuses.

It's really sad when you consider that the exclusives became is something completely different than what they set out to be. And it could have all be avoided. The LC continued in that path and became the exact same thing. There was the inability to learn from history, because they thought themselves to be something different, something better than the brethren.
Most LC members I know are completely ignorant to how exclusive they actually are. They might think that they are inclusive and "open to everyone", however, their actions speak to the opposite. It's a sad state to be in. If they were open to critical feedback, maybe there would be the opportunity for change.
