Meeting on the ground of locality means nothing and being in communication with LSM means everything.

That states it very well, doesn't it!?! No one can be a genuine "local church" unless they are all part of the LSM orbit. I've heard, secondhand, that there's substantial animosity in the LC leadership towards these spinoffs, because they have left the one true orbit to be autonomous and not participate in the exclusivity. What does that say?
