One of the things many outsiders have had questions about is why nearly everyone in the Local Church looks, dresses and talks the same. And they wonder why they can't get but a few "average American Caucasians". The group has been hemorrhaging young American Caucasian kids at an alarming rate for decades. The makeup of the Full-Time Training Anaheim is so skewed with Chinese/Asians that it looks like it should be in Taiwan, not Anaheim.

Why? Are American Caucasians so blind, deft and dumb as to not recognize "the heavenly culture" Witness Lee created? Why wouldn't they want to be "trained" in the godly and glorious ways of the Kingdom? Conversely, why are the Chinese/Asians flocking to the FTTA?

You see, there is a method to the madness. If you fill all the churches with people who look, dress, talk and act the same you will end up with a bunch of churches that look, dress, talk and act the same. A bunch of little rank-and-file automatons meeting in a meeting hall make up the corporate automaton. You get what you pay for my friends. And the followers of Witness Lee have been payin and payin for about 50 years now.
