There's my second wave of PFAL.
Goodbye PFAL.
Goodbye imitation replacement PFAL.
Goodbye imitation replacement cult leaders.
That is the only wave a rational person is going to make
It was worse than that. We worked secular jobs that we couldn't focus on to earn money to pay for rent for a large enough home to hold church meetings in. Then on top of that we sent in tithes and offerings from those earnings. All so we could have the privilege to work a fulltime non paid job doing all the leg work so jackasses in high towers can act important and make policy.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see why 95% of their leadership training graduates have fled for more rational endeavors.
I miss Steve's thoughtful posts, but as is common here, we can still debate the issue even though the original poster is long gone.
And what you say, T-Bone, is worthwhile and very interesting. Just don't expect Steve to respond!
