For many years in the GLA, those returning from the FTTA were filled with suspicions about Titus Chu and the GLA leadership. Obviously LSM used the FTTA to drive a wedge in the hearts of the young ones. FTTA trainers felt that all of the young people belong to them and were their "fruit," and actively undermined the life-connection between the attendees and their supporting churches.
Secondly, the FTTA graduates were often poorly equipped for real life and a healthy Christian walk. Knowing WL teachings does not translate into knowing the Lord and His word. Thus many young people required extended personal coaching in order to be reoriented to "normal" life.
Titus Chu also has had periodic times of training called "10 month labors" in Cleveland. These were much more focused on the scriptures, with many opportunities to minister to the other participants. They could not be called "Trainings" because WL and his lackeys would have a heart attack. Another valuable feature was to encourage students to attend by taking off a semester or a year of college. It was much easier to re-enroll in classes after such a break, then it was to find a job afterwards. TC's coaching tended to help the person long-term than to be simply a recruiting tool.
