Milder? Watered down and diluted work too. In the home meetings you weren't likely to hear non-LSM Christianity besmirched.
I have heard much of the same. Not to bring "new ones" to a table meeting right away. There is a process of indoctrination to prepare a new one with the culture of LTM. Otherwise the brothers do not want to be asked the questions new ones will be asking.
