Default Re: Always in the Church, but not always in fellowship with the brethren

Just by the threads title "Always in the Church, but not always in fellowship", my last visit to Southern California in 2014, there was a HWFMR that caught my attention. Basically fellowship is only according to "the ministry". "The ministry" as we know is a coded word meaning LSM publications. That being said, LSM is the basis for fellowship. Where I live in Renton, the local church won't fellowship apart from the ministry? Would they fellowship with other assemblies? I'd venture to say not. To fellowship apart from LSM would require a locality to lose their uniqueness and be just like all other Christian assemblies. Thus the thread's title is appropriate, "always in the church, but not always in fellowship".
