Hey guys,
It's was interesting for me to get home from church and read ex's most recent post. I had some similar thoughts today in fact. My exposure to the TIT trainings was limited, but I must admit I found Hans a bit compelling, to begin with. But the LDS church has always been a home to me, and I have trusted my faith since I got involved with this LGAT stuff. In doing that, it was obvious to me what Hans and Sally were doing was way, way, WAY out there, so I never really got sucked in. I may discuss this more later, gotta go home preach! I mean, teach!

Though I am not religious in any way now, I do respect that Ed, I really do. If more Mormon trainees would do the same, we would have more sane people in the Salt Lake/Utah valley areas. I think the TITLDS were the craziest of the bunch, including the ones that leave the church, but don't see it as leaving the church, but rather a graduation into the higher meanings the church alludes to. Unfortunately the concept of faith can be a wobbly thing, and Impact capitalizes on it.
I say, if you are going to believe in something, question it, attack it, put through rigorous stress, and if you are done and still believe it, then at least you know you believe what you believe. Many people just go with the flow of their faith, and when it is challenged, they fold. These TITLDS people don't even fold, but they say they believe in both. It's crazy.
Again, much respect.
