Maybe and maybe not. There is a difference there. In the GLA, they didn't just fail to be as strong in following. They followed someone who openly bucked the system, including publishing his own materials.
If instead you follow the LSM, just not quite "all in," that is different. Not saying the outcome wouldn't be the same. But are there examples of "loyal" LSM churches that are not by-the-book loyal? Maybe there are. Anaheim has to consider how petty the difference can be and still have their followers buy into another mass excommunication.
