Now, now, don't forget the cardinal rule: "When others do it, it is hypocrisy, but when we do it, it is not hypocrisy." Remember the song, "So subjective is my Christ to me, real in me and rich and sweet..."? We must realize how subjective this Christ was - so subjective, real and rich and sweet that objective reality, i.e. the outside world (with its possible unpleasant adjustments), could not be allowed in. In other words, delusion; and it doesn't matter how many thousands you suck into your hermetically-sealed world, it's still a delusion.
I'm going to quote from another thread, on a brother's experience in the Dong Yu Lan offshoot of the Nee/Lee group. The testifying brother, here, was involved in the business of spreading EAV literature, and had some concerns about what he was seeing, and its disparity with the scriptural text.

At this point there was something quite remarkable. When I mentioned that it was unacceptable that the "restoration" ignore the words of the Lord Jesus, so I started to quote the verse that Jesus spoke in the temple, "it is written, my house ..." (Luke 19:46). I could not finish. Dong Yu Lan stood up and started screaming, "Enough! Enough! U will not convince me of anything. If u want to follow me, follow me, if u do not want to follow me, do not follow me. " (with Chinese translation into Portuguese)
This is Donguismo !!!!

The delusion reveals itself, by its stubborn refusal to hear the Word of God. Words are for promoting the marketing, not for correcting the marketer! No outside correction must be allowed to alter the vision (read: delusion) of the Apostle and Promulgator of the Great Plan to Spread the Truth (i.e. sell books).
That the so-called Apostle has training centers across the globe, and willing acolytes by the dozen or hundreds or even thousands, doesn't diminish the level of delusion; if anything it exacerbates it. And because the edifice is built on a positive feedback loop, with no chance of "negative" correction, the scheme swells to impressive proportions before it eventually deflates back to nothing. Because under the instruction set (more!! more!!) there's really nothing at all.
