Well, since Lee's ministry became basis for fellowship among local churches, when a local church disassociates from LSM, a locality such as Moses Lake is viewed as being independent. Thus a rebel church.
In my opinion this is the result of an "Us versus Them" mentality that is prevalent among the local churches.
What I believe to be true Moses Lake is open to fellowship with fellow Washington state localities. It is the other Washington state localities that are not open to fellowship with Moses Lake.
That being the ground of the church among LSM churches is the LSM publications. Apart from LSM publications, there is no ground for fellowship with other Christians.
