Did WL dance around this disparity, I wonder? Or did he just ignore it?

They kept their lampstand because they were still a proper local church, standing on the local ground of oneness, i.e. one church one city. To WL the unforgiveable sin was division, as defined by him. Every other failure could be corrected by the Son of Man walking in your midst, but WL defined division resulted in being hopeless and helpless.
Or so we were told.
