Again, this whole misaiming led to the mess which is the LCM. Why is that so hard to figure out?

Even in the local churches, I can say brothers and sisters don't meet locally. Which indicates meeting according to a man and his ministry publications. The locality I was meeting with in the 90's, there were brothers and sisters who would come from Sultan, Redmond, Renton, Burien, etc just to meet with this local church. Far from meeting "on the ground of locality". The ground is really the ministry.
