This is what happens when a cult of personality gets taken over by a person with no personality. Governance by rules and legalism, and a system and leadership which erases personality.
Is the observation that the result of that is it turns people into bland legalistic Christians? Makes sense.

This took awhile.
1979 - During the ride to the ROA we passed a church in New Knoxville. On the marquis it said, "Rev Whatever 'unveils the way'". Not only that but it was going on all week. This rev whatevrrrr wanted his flock to come to church all week long and hear him slander us. They'd rather go on picnics or something. That darned urgency of the times.
1982 - During Living Victoriously Howard Allen was awakened at 3AM by NKs finest. They wanted him to start his car. It seems some townies got their butts kicked by some of us wayfers. Provoked, of course. Townies called the cops and gave them HAs license plate. HA said he hadn't started his car in 2 days. It didn't immediately turn over so the cops apologized and left. I guess those townies weren't business leaders.
1983 - One service not available at the ROA was laundry. We went into St. Marys and one laundromat had a sign in its window which said...ROA people welcome. Finally!
I spent a good amount of time over many years at that laundromat in St. Marys. It was particularly full the day after one of those horrible rainstorms so common in Ohio in August.

Apples and oranges.
1979-Reverend Whatever takes twi seriously and talks about them all week.
That's in his job description-to warn his congregation about alleged
exploitative religious groups in the area.
1982- some local rednecks start an incident. That's HARDLY local business
talking.
1983-a local business welcomes your money. THAT's what we were talking about.
When I left the U.S. trunk there were 32,000 "active" wayfers in the USA. That's the highest it ever got, and that's only as reliable as the info that came up through the limbs. That was August, 1984. That was the highest it ever got. So, I think Skyrider's estimates are right in the ballpark.

He probably had different people across the week for a presentation
that was mostly the same across the week.
Hey-it was local and it was current. That's good for business as well as topical.

Business may act the part for business.
When mom says a child can't play at another child's house because their friend is with "them" . . . true feelings are revealed.
