Good point. The best way to manage the pressure is to have a thriving ministry. I was once in the FTTT, we were on a campus in Taipei (near Tai Da, it was a graduate school for engineers). In the course of a few months we brought in many brothers from the campus to the local meeting hall. We had the best success in getting "abiding fruit" of the training. LSM wanted me to use their publications in my bible studies, I ignored them, they did nothing.
