1. No. Yes, it is division.
2. The LR is reactionary in its treatment of women.
3. Because they are narrow and sectarian.
4. Yes.
5. Because the group is very confused.

Agree with each!
And I would add that while the LC thinks they are "IT," there are also numerous other Christian groups that think that as well! That's just what Adam does - gets an idea he thinks is more special revelation than what others have, then gets prideful about it, then causes a division over it. So in this respect, the LC not all that different than many other Christian groups . . .
BUT this all gets taken way too far with the LC, to the point of becoming quite exclusive and blinded - in essence Laodicia - they don't know that they have become poor and miserable, blind and naked. The doctrine they thought was the answer to oneness in the body, they have held tightly to in place of Christ. (anything apart from Him - even "good teaching" - is flesh and has, ironically, resulted in just more division.)
