Leastofthese I just got on this forum yesterday because my 22 yo son gave up his opportunity to go to PA school to go to California (FTTA). I am encouraged that you saw the truth of their ways and was wondering if you could enlighten me as to how to proceed. I am also encouraged that you are still a believer because I would hate more than anything for people who leave LC to feel as though God has left them.

Are your parents Christians also, how did they react to your leaving for FTTA? We don't know what to do. We have tried for a year to show him biblically and socially the "red flags" of this group to no avail.

I am really in need of a support group for parents of students, do you know of any? We want to support our son without supporting his decision to go to the "training". We realize that if we are too harsh it will only give them leverage to turn him against us completely. We want to him to fell as though he can always come back, because we Love him very much. That is of course also what Christ would have us do.

I have also been reading in these threads about people being "married off" at the end of the training. How prevalent is that? Is there extreme pressure in that area?

Any help and insight is appreciated. I am located in Texas just in case you know of anyone in my area who can help us.

Thanks in advance
