This does not make any sense. I would never use language with which I had a moral disagreement. And I dare say that most people wouldn't.
Also, now here you are saying that "LSM is the ministry." Would you like to define that? What does that mean?

b) on countless occasions I have referred to the church as all believers.

Good.

c) even current members think it is a denomination like little brother. I have corrected them in another thread. But I dont see the point correcting most people here who have made their mind up that it is a denomination. Because it requires a degree of light and revelation to see that.

It requires a degree of light and revelation to realize that just because you call yourself something does not mean anything about the reality of it. The Local Church
is, in effect, a denomination. And you yourself demonstrate your own tacit acceptance of this every time you talk about "we" and "us" and "joining the LSM" and "joining the Recovery," etc.
