This is exactly why there will never be any significant acceptance or acknowledgement of the FTT or any other part of WL's legacy. Chang characterizes the FTT as "one of the largest post-graduate theological institutions in the United States" and also claims that it's part of a 'phenomenon'. He obviously views it as something special and would like his readers to do the same.
That sad truth is that the FTT has one and only purpose. No one identifies this purpose better than WL's hand-selected FTTT trainers who were quoted as calling it a "Witness Lee duplication center." That's exactly what the FTTA is today. Impressionable young adults are sent there to learn how to recite WL teachings. So this is WL's true legacy. He left behind a pattern to follow where people can learn to live, act and talk like he once did.
