leastofthese, the last sentence I stress I don't think is fully grasped and understood that brothers and sisters feel bound by the "ground of locality" teaching. Not me personally, but ones I've known virtually my entire life. When it comes down to it, \oneness of the Body is predicated upon Living Stream Ministry publications. You can be living in Wenatchee, Washington or some other town. If there's no LSM affiliated church to meet with it's better to meet at home than to meet "divisively" as it's been taught.
I don't agree with that concept, but that just happens to be where some people are at.
