The LC was characterized as far worse than any JW or Mormon, and you should know that. Hey, JW's and Mormons are well respected as individuals and citizens. The Moslems and the Mormons, in fact, can even run for POTUS, and no one seems to care.
But ... otoh you know that LC folks were characterized with Jim Jones and the mass suicide. That was the sole intention of those books. Families were totally spooked about loved ones. Fear, not research or factual evidence, was the basic tool they used.
Listen, I lived through the hell of those two books and the damage it did to the gospel outreach to my friends and family.
