Perhaps you can respond to this quote from Trapped:

I can't explain it but it's such an odd structure that it depersonalizes God for me. "God was processed" somehow removes God's participation in the process and makes it seem like some independent process was applied to him, like processed ham on a conveyor belt, rather than His being an active participant? I don't know. Hoping for others' input.

I agree that often the description was similar to God being "processed" like a cook was preparing Him for our consumption. Yet unless there is another God than the one we received there can't be a "cook" that prepared God or "processed" God for mass consumption. That inferred presence of another God may be what is most jarring about this teaching, which Trapped described as being hit with a "clang".
