I am convinced that if it weren't for the FTTA, the LC would be quickly declining in the U.S. The younger generation seems to find the LC less relevant as the older LC generation. The solution to that is to send them off to the FTTA where they learn how to dress, speak LC lingo, and "play church". There is enough doctrine to get them convinced that they possess a great "vision" and to justify the cultural disconnect of the LC in America.
I was subjected to the pressures of FTTA as well. No, no, no, and no were my responses.
I observed those that answered the call for FTTA received the attention and subsequent care. Those that did not answer the call for FTTA were largely ignored.
