I'm sure they will embrace those that leave a spinoff back into their orbit. Former leaders/elders, certainly not. What animosity there is towards spinoffs, is magnified against former elders.
I recall an email I had years ago, a former LC member encouraged certain co-workers to go visit Bill Mallon in the hospital (2001-ish) recovering from heart surgery in nearby Buena Park. Not one would visit.
At Francis Ball's memorial service 2007, Max attended. Per eyewitness attendee Co-workers kept their distance (6 feet or more I don't know).
