What about the Children?

Fakers.

By necessity. To make it in the system.

A few years before Lee passed, ~1994 Gene Gruhler an elder in Anaheim, concocted a "baby to trainee" scheme, called "The Pipeline," for all LC children. It was designed to be the end all solution to the 2nd generation, church kid exodus. Just punch your newborn into the program, and out comes a useful FTTA trainee. Gene Gruhler was hailed as a genius. To date all other LC avenues had failed, so finally LSM would step in and fix the problem, once and for all.

In 1995, we had a sister from LSM staying with us for a few months. Thus we got advanced notice of the "Lord's new move, His up-to-date speaking, the latest flow from the throne." At the time, I was all ears, and my only regret was knowing that all my teenage kids had missed out on the initial stages of "The Pipeline."

Not so with some LC friends of mine. Their kids were little, with one on the way. She listened attentively to all of the Pipeline details, and then freaked out. She was not having any part of the Pipeline for her kids. In fact, she had had it with all of the LC programs, and thought it was about time to leave.

Interestingly for some reason Anaheim had enough of Gene Gruhler too. Shortly after Lee's death GG was asked to leave. Rumor has it, that he was too legalistic for some of the newly crowned "Blendeds." Apparently it was OK to be legalistic with all the LC's, but don't be legalistic with the Blended Bosses and their families.
