Here are two general areas of repeated complaints.
1. Families felt that the demands made by IHOP damaged their family life and/or estranged family members.
2. People felt exploited by IHOP regarding fund raising and labor.
3. Participants complained that IHOP was psychologically and emotionally abusive and destructive.
1. I happen to know from people who've attended internships that IHOP does not require you to abandon your family OR friends. The only restriction is [b:e8cb5dae71]casual[/b:e8cb5dae71] dating (i.e. dating random people frequently), and that is for interns, not members. If the people making complaints were lead to feeling that, it was not because of IHOP regulations.
2. Point is somwhat vague. I have never heard anything whatsoever about IHOP raising funds period.
3. Stories I've heard are the complete turnaround of what you're saying. Again, your point is vague. I would like specifics, not categories.
If people failed to give you specific details in the first place, at least say so, instead of dragging this on.

You don't care that IHOP is essentially a dictatorship without democratic church government.
And you don't know where the money goes and don't care about that either.
Let me be specific: A time may come when I will care, but that again depends on the specifics of the claims you've received. I'm not going to worry about it [i:e8cb5dae71]just because[/i:e8cb5dae71] it's set up that way.
