It seems that virtually across the board, the fruit of WL's high peak is that many have fallen prey to pride. The "high peak" has elevated some LCers above other members who just want to care for basic needs, and it has even further separated those in the LC from other Christians, reinforcing the notion that they have so much more than everyone else.
High peak teachings can be easily summed up with 1 Corinthians 13:1

If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.

High peaks teachings are a clanging cymbal when there is no love.
