What I don't understand is that they never seem to take a second and think, "Wait, could what these people are saying be true?"

Like, "Hm, person #279 has accused us of being a cult. That's the 279th time that's happened, maybe I should take it seriously. What makes a cult a cult, anyway? *looks up characteristics of cults* Oh...boy.....yeah, I can see a few points kinda sound like us. What should we do about those points, because we sure don't want to operate like a cult!"

The fact that they DON'T do that very rational thing, and the fact that they DO threaten their members with negative repercussions if people go off and read stuff like that.......tells me that the leadership in the Lord's recovery has full well read the characteristics of a cult and sees the truth and doesn't want it to be found out and also has no desire to change for the better.

The only thing I can conclude by the actions of the co-workers is that they know they are operating a sham. You better believe DCP and the ones who write the defensive articles read word-for-word the stuff that's out there about and against the LC. They only scare the members because they can see it all matches up.

Which, to me, can only mean that it's willful deception.
