Becoming void of personal opinion and insight of the Word. Instead their speaking is as "the ministry says .......".

Another version of "taking their virginity."

The image that comes to mind of those coming out of FTTA is a scene from The Wall, faceless and somewhat identical.

I am an opposer of the FTTA. I don't say that lightly. At one point in time I wanted to go and I even planned to go. After seeing the negative changes that happened to those I knew who went to the FTTA, I realized that I wanted nothing to do with it.

The Wall is an accurate depiction of what happens to people who attend the FTTA. They lose their personality, they lose their uniqueness. It's really sad. What's the benefit in sacrificing two years of your life just to be able to parrot Lee better than everyone else? What happens when at some point in the future the LC becomes increasingly irrelevant and no one values their FTTA "education"? I hope prospective FTTA attendees would ask themselves these questions.
