Do you consider LSM and LC to be standing on solid ground?
Should we command certain people not to teach false doctrines any longer or to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies?
Should we step in when we see believers led astray by hypocrisy and conduct that is not in step with the truth of the gospel? __

Participating in this forum is a good way to warn others. There is nothing more powerful than former members speaking from the Word of God, in the Spirit, and from experience. But, ultimately keeping our eyes on Jesus and testifying of His glory and triumph is the most important thing, and really the only thing that we Christians can agree about anyway
If the LSM and LC were on solid ground I'd be there. Initially the ground of locality was presented to us as being inclusive of all blood washed and Spirit born Christians, and allowed freedom to receive a variety of ministers and ministries of Christ as long as they share the common "faith once delivered to the saints". Unfortunately that is not practice, and grieves the Holy Spirit.
God will take care of it. The leaders have been asked to repent by many sincere brothers in love for over 30 years.
Prayers certainly help!
I've suggested a "local church discussions" conference on this topic "what should we do?" to some of the brothers here. But that hasn't gained any traction.
My motivation for that was to allow discussion of both positive and negative of TLR and LSM, test, and keep the good. I've gathered from two years of reading these boards that most of the saints here think it is best to throw out the whole leavened lump.
