Same where I meet. Everyone is not born and raised in this group and disassociating with all others.
You keep making stuff up in hopes you find something that stumps the band.

Regarding LSM publications, if there was a sudden influx of Christians that somehow decide that one church in the city, meeting on the "ground" is correct, but they have no desire for LSM materials, what are you going to do, for example here in Dallas where a few meet each week, but would essentially disappear into a sea of others if even 0.1% of the Christians in the city decided to join up. When there is no more use of LSM materials in the meetings in Dallas, what happens?
I'll tell you what happens. It already has happened in other cities where just the insiders so sufficiently stopped LSM materials and the leadership was behind it. And the LSM sent its legal team to help sue to get the property back. Back from who, you may ask? From the "church in [city]" that is still meeting there.
There is your oneness. It is shattered over LSM materials. Your mockery of suggesting that we create another group to cater to those who don't want to use LSM materials has happened. But it happened backwards. The church decided to quit the LSM materials and the few that still wanted to use the materials left and started a new group. And they sued for the building.
The mockery is that LSM reality is worse than the differences among those Christian groups that you consider to be "not genuine." Your testimony is that everything you claim about oneness is a hollow shell game that hides division on a grand scale. And the division is that you claim you can't come have the Lord's table with us but we can with you. But you won't allow it to continue if many other things are not also agreed with (if not immediately, then over time).
