WL was not interested in 'strengthening the hand of the poor and needy'. The FTTA trainers told us as much: "don't waste your time" with those who have no means to repay you in this age (contra Jesus in Luke 14:14; see also Paul in Gal 2:10).
Instead, our goal was, recruit "good building material" to "build up the Body". RK even said that anything done outside of promoting WL's ministry did "absolutely nothing" to build the Body, and was therefore useless.
This theme was clearly and repeatedly presented in the LC. I suspect that apart from simple money-grubbing, always a factor, there was fear that any truly sick people showing up, those needing some real care, would reveal the absolute poverty of WL's programme to help anyone. The unending obsession with "good building materials" and "God's economy" was a way to avoid anyone who actually was sick, in prison, etc, and whose condition might expose the LC for what it really was: empty and void.
Those who did show any sign of weakness or need were told, "Just get out of your mind, pray-read more. Become God in life and nature" and all your problems will be solved. Right? Just focus on God's economy. Build up the Body. Be positive. Go to more meetings. Read the ministry. Be positive.
