I believe Laodicean pride draws lines that exonerate themselves and condemn all others. The classic one was that brother who convinced himself that he alone was right by praying in his closet.

I happened to run into a brother who was an old friend in the aftermath of the quarantines. He said something profound to me, "the Lord showed me that there is no love in Laodicea." Obviously those quarantines were void of any agape love or brotherly love.

Would someone please ask Ron Kangas et.al., "How did you feel when you quarantined brother Titus? Did you sense life."
