That could explain why none of the other coworkers didn't emphasize the ground doctrine.
That's because the ground doctrine is baggage Nee and Lee brought with them from time meeting with the Exclusive Brethren.

The "open" Brethren favored a oneness similar to that which was promoted in Nee's and Lee's early ministries (at least in the USA.)

Because the "new rules" were the ones they wanted to uphold, not the old. They talked of the old, but demanded the new. They spoke of oneness on ground but demanded oneness of minister and ministry.

Simply hypocrisy and deception. They traded their status as ministers for fleshly power and filthy lucre.
