Yes, good to see you again OBW.

The odd thing about the local ground is that as soon as you begin to teach it as a required practice the onus immediately goes to the other guy. So I didn't understand Toledo's point at all.

If you are talking about basic spiritual oneness then, yes, the onus is on you in a healthy way. But if you are talking about the local ground teaching then as soon as a group "takes" the ground, they are putting the onus on everyone else to meet with them.

I don't see how you can claim it is any other way. But I'd be open to hearing about it.

So, while I see Ohio's point, I disagree that Nee's version would have resulted in anything different, because once you require the local ground, escalation of the teaching to current intolerance levels is only natural. It's another systemic flaw.
