Thanks for sharing your experience Exodus 16. Come stay for a while.

"attending the FTT though it was urged and pushed in the young people's meetings" is one of the things that really turned me off.

In recent years my wife and I were trying to share the riches of Jesus Christ from the Bible with the college age saints (as that is what we thought we should be doing), and were frustrated that other "serving ones" had this strong agenda to get new ones to go to the college conferences and FTTA that was more important than whether new ones were truly being shepherded, fed, and growing in and with Christ.

Such entrapment is a strong sign of a cult! I came to liken it to a venus fly trap.... just go a little deeper, deeper, on the promise of nectar (good stuff, right!), then plop, into the digestive juices you go, to be absorbed in for only the plants' (LSM's) benefit.
