The "training" model was something Nee invented and Lee perfected. It's an expression of their domineering natures in the context of backwards mainland China 70 years ago. It's an archaic, extremely flawed model, which produces short-term compliance and long-term stupidity.

The only reason it is still around is because to change it would be to admit something about Nee and Lee wasn't perfect and eternal.

Even the military and most sports coaches have abandoned the strict disciplinarian approach to leadership. There is a better way. Reasonable rules are fine and needed, but rules that exist just to show the trainees that they are being ruled, to break their wills, are abusive.

Every day the LRC becomes more of an anachronism. I feel sorry for the kids that grow up there. They receive a very warped view of life and God.
