Tucker opines that Promise Keepers operates under the assumption that repentance is good and that they're right, but he fails to see the most obvious PK ploy used by thousands of snake-oil salesmen, most recently by EST leader Werner Erhardt: keep them guilty, hungry and mad and you can convince them of anything.
