Trying to go from or one extreme or another is not a good idea imho. To say or prove that the pfal/twi experience was totally bad or good, is a waste of time. There was good and bad, just like most anywhere. Not much different than any other religion or cult or organization.
As to the point of this thread, there were no good old days, or glory days, that are not any different than these days. There are still many people looking for answers that will be drawn to a good sounding bait and hook agenda.
Started with the green card then session 1, "you have to know what is available to get anything from god", this is false, a lie and not true. And another hook to get you thinking you needed to know more.
