A valid query. Unfortunately one that cannot be answered with anything but bemused mendacity by the subject under sway. The wire-pullers in the know always fearful of some member "giving the game away" and veering off course from the narrow, circumscribed path which is set out for the simple minded and insecure to follow.

All religious organisations are of the same kidney whether they call themselves scientologists, neo-ressurectionists, shiites, sunnis, roman catholics, pentecostalists...et, cet, ad nauseum.

Any "movement", particularly those of a spiritual bent are all about control, which lest we forget, is twin brother to power. That's all it's about....controlling people.......and by doing so $$$$$$$ are nice fringe benefits.
