It was only when Darby and Co decided that they must rule the program, eliminating any potential "rivals," that all the negative elements crept in and eventually swallowed them up.
One major factor of their decline occurred when Darby influenced many that their factor of oneness was not the oneness of the Spirit, but the mandatory and universal judgment of evil by all Brethren. That left the door wide open for the most "influential" leader -- Darby -- to decide who and what was evil.
