I think aron has done quite well to attribute this solely to Chinese culture and nothing closely similar to what we see in scripture. 5 millennia of Chinese dynasties provided them with everything they needed.

Many of
aron's posts on the subject have helped me to consider how much culture was really a factor. You wouldn't necessarily think culture was a factor at all, because in the LC we were all told that we had come out of our culture. Of course, that's not to say that us Americans aren't influenced by our culture as well, but it's important to understand where the LC authority structure originates from.
So many in the LC have grown to believe that these culturally motivated teachings have some deep spiritual significance. Leaders can take something like authority and tell members too look at the world around them, how so many people are acting lawlessly, and it convinces members that WL had the correct "prescription" for the problem at hand.
