And, principally, those in the 60s and early 70s in the lc met on such a ground and blessing came to them in much more abundance than if they had not been meeting on a ground of oneness. Seeking believers were being added to the churches around the country and claiming "we're home!", and this was due to the New Testament reality of coming up from Babylon to Jerusalem, "to the place which the Lord thy God has chosen."
In the 1960s and 1970s in the U.S. the LC system's basis of oneness was Witness Lee and his ministry. It became more overt and promoted later but it was always the case from the beginning.

As I mentioned earlier in the 1960s there was cultural turmoil in the U.S. and in this kind of ferment the Jesus People movement emerged as did the LC system, etc. i.e. these kind of churches offered alternatives to young people searching for a different way of doing things.

Your theory is that only the LC system was outside of Babylon and therefore got the blessing. The fact that places like Calvary Chapel which came out of the Jesus People movement also received much blessing and still does to this day somehow does not fit into your very limited narrow-minded scheme of things.
