"All attempts I’ve seen or heard of in splinter and stump groups running clone classes have had relatively minor results. Minor compared to the “good old days.”
I could be wrong about this world-wide, but in my sphere of awareness, there has not been a single grad of any clone classes to rise up to the level of a WOW or a Corps candidate or a committed, serving clergy. All the big leaders are old PFAL grads, and the clone grads seem to be not inspired to drop everything and move the Word like Dr inspired HIS grads. If you know of one such hot clone grad, check on him or her in a couple years, and see how they are still cooking."
One common fallacy in logic is to confuse CORRELATION with CAUSATION.
Example 1: Hot chocolate causes death by freezing. People drink a LOT more hot chocolate certain months of the year, and those months also see an increase in people freezing to death. Coincidence? Obviously not! It's plain that the hot chocolate is causing the freezing.
Example 2: Modern pfal attempts don't have the same effect on society as the old one did in the 1970s. In the 1970s, legitimate, rad Christians who were getting things done were recruited into twi, and turned into advertising shills for pfal. They did their thing (were rad Christians) and (falsely but with good intentions) claimed the reason they were so rad was due to twi and pfal, and to be equally rad, one had to take the class. Society has moved on since then. The rad Christians are in completely different forms now, with virtually none connected with splinter groups. But the difference in the results is seen as "the class isn't really the same and that's why the results differ so much." The real answer is that "the class" was more of the "ground" and not the "figure" of the paining. Rad Christians made the difference in twi, and the classes were more window-dressing and artificial benchmarks to measure progress.
For those who forgot, "The Joy of Serving" was a commercial for pfal. "You have to serve people something-so serve them the 3 levels of the class, and outside of twi, there's no real answers for people." (The End.)
