And this was conditioned in the Local Churches by the focus on "good building material", versus sinners who need transformation.

How can any system change, if it blames the people within it for its own shorcomings? And how can any system thus constructed do anything but continually spit out traumatized souls who tried and failed to please the system's unreachable dictates?
