There is no joke here. Duddy may not have gotten every aspect spot on because he and his fellow researchers were not long-time members. But they got a pretty good idea. And they spelled it out pretty accurately.

I was taught very clearly that redemption was part of salvation. I was also taught very much on the idea of replacement, but never once was I taught that salvation was not so much redemption but replacement. We were very clear that these were two different things and that both were part of salvation. We were also taught that the minute you are redeemed you are "saved".
And, if you look at the printed ministry there is no basis to make this claim at all. Now, if he had said "they emphasize "replacement" more than redemption" that would have been reasonable.
