In the insular world of the fringe sect, reality is defined by Maximum Leader (ML) and none else. If ML does something, it's called "closely following the teaching and fellowship of the apostles", and if someone else does it then it's called "dead tradition".

And the way to avoid the obvious disconnect is to take in the ministry of ML 24/7. Then you don't feel weird because there is no external point of reference, and therefore little if any perceptual discord. Then everything will make sense to you. I was there, once. Everything ML said was "the oracle of God", and therefore it all made perfect sense, even when it didn't.
