Miriam -Webster: "Persuasion by . . . salesmanship"
No doubt Lee was a salesman. Chairs, suits, motor homes, 'rainbow booklets', coffee mugs, calenders, cassette tapes. . .
And certainly he could persuade. Look at any HWMR outline. "We must" and "We need to" abound.

But to my point - before he died, he said, "We were wrong" in the matter of receiving others. Whether the matter is doctrine or practice is irrelevant. Who could at any time or in any meeting say, "We are wrong"?
Yet if Lee had come over in 1962 and said he was Deputy God, he would not have been received. So he had to condition us, to cook us slowly.
