I countered with, "this sounds like the Roman Catholic church to me. With Lee as the Pope." Mel shot back with, "this is the way of life, and you either do it or get out."

"This is the way of life", according to one of Lee's ardent followers. Lee didn't have to anoint himself Grand Pooh-Bah of Planet Earth. He had MP, RG, EM, BP, and many others to do it. The same people who are, not coincidentally, running the show.

Anyone who didn't "line up" with the ardent followers either got quietly exiled to LC Siberia, or got out.
People like MP and RG were great because they didn't pull any punches. They told you what it was, and you either get it or get out. They weren't like, "Awww, he is just a humble bondslave of Jesus Christ. A simple Bible expositor." No, they said, He's Deputy God. Number Four, after the Trinity.
