LSM's Fallacy of Identity

[aron]

I have only one beef with brother Tomes. He is not leading up to larger point, that I can see. If he can "prove" the error of Lee's teachings, through exhaustive (to me) scholarship, he's done his work. But what then? No clue.

Diversity has been systematically eliminated in the name of “oneness and one accord.” Uniformity has been established and institutionalized, including the practices listed above. While paying lip-service to token forms of variety, LSM’s local churches now practice uniformity without variety. The spurious justification for this uniformity is Bro. Lee’s teaching that the local churches ought to be the same, identical in all significant aspects. This doctrine is LSM’s fallacy of identity. ~from the end of Tomes' tome.

But, but, but...what is this error indicative of? See my points elsewhere (UntoHim's Blog) about how Daniel chapter 6 has a written and signed code of outward conformity (Darius' decree), punishable by death, which eerily prefigures John's vision in Revelation chapter 13 about the mark of the beast and the worship of the beast. Whether or not my portents are on the mark, at least I am trying to signal towards a larger issue than Lee. But Tomes is not. He's content to point out the logical and exegitical errors in Lee's teachings.

But a) what are these errors indicative of, and what accompanying signs should we look for as confirmation (the Phoenix accords, the One Publication bull), and b) what are the remedies, practically, beyond merely "respecting diversity"? People are hungry for something solid, not merely pointing out the errors of others.
