I said before, that I went to a Lutheran Church and never once heard the name or the teachings of Luther exalted. Try going to the LSM-friendly local churches and see how often Lee's name and teachings are exalted.
Few regard the Wesleyans, Calvinists, and Lutherans a cult, and the same should be applied to the Recovery -- just a sect of Christianity overly focused on their leader/founder.

It's been the historic characteristic of denominations to believe their way was the true way. At one time some denominations even believed you couldn't be saved or at least sanctified outside of their camps.
However, few believe that anymore... wth the marked exception of the LRC. This is one irony of the LRC. They haven't progressed, they've regressed, recovering (to put it in their terms) classic denominational xenophobia.
