One could say the New Way wasn't a divisive teaching, but the movement did result in division. Attitudes towards the elders, door knocking etc. Nothing against door knocking, but it either issued in deadness or localities were either dead. The atmosphere was agressive for the door knocking, but not all the saints shared the aggressive push.
Some were content not to door knock. Others embraced the door knocking, but not the new behavior of trainees. One college brother I knew stopped meeting as a result of the New Way division. Years later he told me Christians outside the recovery are just as seeking as he had experienced being raised in the lc's.
