Rather He rebuked them for their evil heart, their evil deeds, their evil lies, their hypocrisy, etc.

Another example could be the twelve tribes of Israel.
Every man of the children of Israel shall pitch by his own standard, with the ensign of their father's house: far off about the tabernacle of the congregation shall they pitch. (Num 2:2).
Having different names is not the problem. It is more about how they treat each other.
It is wrong when the eye says it doesn't need the hand, or when the hand says all the members should be hands only. In this respect, "The Lord's Recovery" is not different from the other "denominations" it blames, if not worse.
