Nothing initially about the church or the ministry. "We're just simple lovers of Jesus, who choose to meet on the ground of oneness."
Then, groom the newbies with all the coded language. "There are terrible people out there, opposers who persecute the church which Christ purchased with His own blood. Hard to believe anyone could be negative against anything so wonderful as this."

It becomes difficult to tell the counterfeit from the reality.

I heard negative things right away. There recently had been a big storm, or rebellion, and many had left, and the remaining ones were subdued, and dispirited. But I was on honyemoon in the LC. I couldn't imagine why anyone would leave something so wonderful. I mean, here we all meet as one, here we have Christ as life, here are all the riches, and we've given up our search! Right?!?

It is always amazing, to see this. It is so blatant, and yet so successful. At best they are kept in a kind of perpetual kindergarden, unable to grow. Just keep reading the same script. See Spot run.
But they could be out playing Beer Pong, or huffing chemicals in the garage, so let them be. Maybe some of them will wake up, some day. You never know. God can do anything.
