I used to trust the people who introduced me to pfal, and made it sound like they were all great people entirely because of pfal. That was the same bait-and-switch that had been practiced when the hippies had gone out. vpw sent out quality Christians as his advertising arm, and made it look like what made them quality Christians was the pfal class, when they'd been quality long before hearing of it.
So, for year after year, quality Christians in twi convinced people that they key to being a quality Christian was pfal and whatever vpw was teaching. I think they had no real idea how they were deceiving everyone, since it had been done to them and it was such an omnipresent practice that it was the status quo.
So, because I trusted them, I trusted wierwille- to a point, and lcm- to a lesser point.
