What he would conclude is that what he sees on the list archives is
no different that what would be experienced if a visit were to be 
made to the different churches.  He'd/she'd see the harmony of the
basic doctrine as well as the dis-unity according to standards held.
He'd/she'd then interpret the dis-unity as unloving.  

What'd Jesus say:  "They will know you are my disciples when you have
                    love one to another."  (not sure where it's found)

And then when make the leap in logic thinking: "They don't love.  They
are not God's and probably just a bunch of cults.  They are in it for
themselves and not to save that which is lost."

While we, as insiders realize, that the bickering back- and forth- is
more or less the equivalent as to the way a mother and father's offspring
are constantly fighting.  Hey!  We all have the same Daddy!
