I was with the FTTA in early '90s, when they gave up on door-knocking and began the big push for "good building material". The group was explicitly told to ignore the widows and orphans and poor and lame, and go after Caucasian college students.

"Don't waste your time" were the trainer's words. I told him that this wasn't like the Christ we see in the gospels. He ignored my comments and the meeting continued. Even then, as a "sold out one", it took me a few more years to summon the courage and the strength to leave.
