I agree that the parallels with the LC are stunning.

I'm not sure what understanding the history of the group prior to 1970 would establish. The history provided would indicate that what it was prior to 1970 was usurped at that time by a man who created a little kingdom out of it from which he earned all the money not required to operate the assemblies that were part of his organization. Well at least until the sinful abuses of his son were exposed in the early 2000s. Seems he is starting over again with four assemblies that remained loyal.

It really sounds familiar.
