Everyone has to see that the LR teachings have been systematically developed to subjugate people to their particular organization and leaders. They are not a coincidence

Whether that was done consciously from the very beginning or not is hard to say, but it didn't just "work out that way." The whole system is optimized to limit choice and instill subservience to the organization. To this end the LR created and features a set of fundamentally distinctive but warped teachings to support and enforce this control. As I've said these include, "ground of locality," "Lord's Recovery", "minister of the age," "deputy authority," "Church is Christ," "one ministry," "one flow from the throne," "one move of God," etc.

Other minor teachings also serve this attempt to characterize themselves as the one true way, e.g. "man-child," "144,000," "outside the camp," "Jerusalem vs Babylon." The list is practically endless and it all serves one purpose, "We are IT and you better SUBMIT. or else!"
