Jo S, Hi. Do you mean the NAR is a kindred spirit of the LR, or that it has an official association with it? I can believe the former, but the LR is not going to share the stage with anyone. If anything defines the LR, it's that they and they alone are the be all and end all.

The characteristics of extreme and abusive religious groups are common among them. Usually they are based in ideas of unique mission, superior doctrine and vision, and self-assumed, overbearing spiritual authority. Starting from there, whole labyrinths of abusive practices can develop, which are common to the groups--essentially rooted in the compromise of the individual conscience.
