Simply said it’s disgusting.

One of the best things we can do is warn people about it on this forum.

Thanks for contributing your firsthand view of these things.
Like so many others, I experienced the pressure first-hand to attend the FTT. Thankfully I never attended, but the fact that they attempt to pressure people into attending is disturbing to say the least. I don't know that the FTT was conceived with ill motives, but what they are trying to accomplish, and the means by which they go about it is as you say - disgusting.

I have known quite a few who attended the FTT. The difference before and after is remarkable, and not in a good way. Personalities change, people become cold and distant, it is sad.

Also, the usage of the FTT to arrange and orchestrate relationships and marriages is one of the things that I find to be the most concerning and questionable. If those in charge have that much control over young and impressionable trainees, then they essentially have the ability to control them in any way they want.
