It's not an addiction. Wrong word. Addiction implies a craving, a need for another hit. This is NOT what LSMers have. They do have plenty of "hits" of Lee up on the shelves but, unlike true addicts, they don't ever use them. I'm speaking in generalities here, but I do know what I'm talking about. Very, very few LSMers actually read Lee's stuff anymore except when they have to. That is, they will read the HWMR since it's required reading (and many cheat on that) and they will peruse a Green Book when they need to plan a teaching or sharing. But otherwise, you could put those books behind a glass covering and no one would notice.
So what is it that causes a woman to wake up in a panic attack and relieve it by vowing to go back to "The Ministry"? It's fear, plain and simple. LSMers would argue it's the fear of the Lord. I believe it is fear from a lifetime of indoctrination. But it is not an addition, this I know.
