Let me say that when you say LSM has no interest in the one city one church model I am taken aback because I think that the teaching is still one means they use to control people.

First the claim to be the unique ministry to the local churches, then they claim that believers can only be in the local churches, add to this the implicit claim that they get to decide which local churches are genuine local churches, then they have the means of complete control.

So the one-church-one-city teaching is just another tool in their toolbox to control people. It's not the only one, but it's still an important one. Though it seems their global church ("The Baaady") model is becoming and even more important means of control for them.

What say you?
