I would offer a third outcome, those who haven't rejected Christianity but reject the politicking and movement the LSM/LC is. Those parents of the churchkids who are more grounded in the Word than in Lee's ministry are able to provide guidance and lead their children in a way where one door closes and another door opens in regard to Christian fellowship. Instead of FTTA there's YWAM.
