Allow me to rephrase for emphasis. Those who stumbled across the LC in search of unity aren't the current LC constituent. People hear the narrative that comes from the LC and it does captivate some people. Eventually, people either realize that the LC is a proprietary system like Igzy says, or they buy into the narrative without knowing what lies ahead.

Those who feel that the LC is the best of two options will never be free from the oppression of the LC.

One day you realize, "if I am really for the oneness of the Body I need to put the talk about 'proper ground' aside and just meet with others in the name of Jesus".

Exactly. An obsession with ground, among other things is an over-complication of a simple matter.

In the LC, they like to sing a well-known hymn. A line reads as follows: On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand.

It's too bad the LC can't take this too heart.
