That's right! And Roman Catholics consider themselves the church in each city too e.g. The Church in Rome. So we should all submit to either the Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox leaders IF you really want to go there. But of course the LC doesn't want to go there. Their doctrine of the church de-legitimizes all other church governments and places themselves as the only remaining admin (in their own heads).

I know in many instances there were believers who were already meeting on the basis of Christ alone and LSM & co. Still came in and “took the ground” claiming to be the true church in that city without any regard to the ones already there, standing on Christ alone.

They sure did and when they divide they continue to call themselves variations of "The Church in __________" all claiming the one ground with the one admin. It's hilarious!
