As a child, we had a dizzying array of nutters and criminals. Even decades later, I am still learning of the secrets that the elders tried to cover. By the time I left to go to serve at Bethel, I was thoroughly convinced that the devil was speeding freely through the congregation in a race car.
I hesitate to say that all congs were like ours, but I suspect that WTC left it intact because it WAS like so many others.
