I would not have done well in that kind of environment. It would have hastened my departure. I might have just told whoever that he was full of excrement and headed for the door.
Prior to my departure, I bought into the system. For a while afterward, I still had the thought that it was actually the right doctrines. But I would have left much clearer had I been faced with that kind of nonsense, or been present when it happened to someone else. I don't tolerate that brand of bovine feces very well. No amount of checking the brain at the door turns my BS-o-meter completely off. Probably a character flaw.
