Hi Hope,

I have been through the Elders Training series years ago, but by far ET#7 is the most memorable and the most shocking. ET#8 follows behind a few paces, but both display glaring examples of a man who was obsessed with control.

As bad as ET#7 is, it's also full of what you have stated as "just the opposite of...". I have come to believe that WL was a master manipulator. He would make a statement on some topic and in the next breath contradict himself. The result was to keep people totally off balance and dependent on him for the next "word from the Oracle" to set things right.

Ultimately the books put out where WL addresses his co-workers must be examined. When they are, it’s over. I have noticed that the LC apologist do not quote these books.

I agree. My experience examining ET#7 began with Toxic Faith in hand. It was a guideline for me to see what was abnormal in what WL was saying and doing.

Put in your order now folks! Elders Trainings #'s 1-11 or so? It's strange how Fermentation of the Present Rebellion disappeared from the shelves at LSM. If the ET books come under close scrutiny, they may just disappear too.
