Why won't LSM let us examine the statistics on all their trainees? How many are still positive? Home many even still love the Lord? How many are still active in the churches?

I am very happy for my experience in the FTTT. I think it was a wonderful experience. I would think every church could and should know who went to the FTTx from their locale and what the outcome was. I think that two or three localities could share these results with each other and see if they warranted further study.
On the other hand I don't believe the FTTx ever lived up to the hype, nor do I think it really benefitted the church that much. And, I definitely feel that those running the FTTx were focused more on how to keep the FTTx going than they were on Christ.
