The whole "local" thing in the "local" churches is just a ruse to distract. The word is a farce without meaning.
When LSM came to my town ten years ago or so, they claimed to protect us from "evil," and thus began quarantining church leaders. It was not us locals against Anaheim, in fact, there was no concern whatsoever about "local."
It was a fight between Amaheim and Cleveland, and we had to choose sides: would we be of Lee and the Blendeds, or would we be of Titus?
No one had the thought, "
hey folks, we are a 'local' church, and praise God that fights between remote leaders never should affect us. Just like Nee told us."
