The Hobbit, perhaps? George

When you leave twi or splinter groups.........you find out who your real friends are. Twi and splinters .......... group followship masquerading as Christian fellowship.

It's a reflection of 2 things- the demand and the supply. True twi splinters often appeal only to the old-timers of twi, especially when all they offer is nostalgia and no miracles, no effectual prayer, etc. So, the old-timers may want the second verse to be the same as the first. They want what they know, even if it wasn't working for them before. True twi splinters often offer ONLY nostalgia when it's all they have. If they have no effectual prayer, no miracles, no nothing, and no interested and interesting teachers, all they HAVE is nostalgia. So, that's what they sell. (Mind you, there's ex-twi'ers who see new people and have effectual prayers. Those do NOT rely much on nostalgia, if at all.)
