This is probably why you were able to leave. There are many who cannot leave because of who they believe Lee was and what they believe their movement is.

Effectively to them Lee is the faith and the Recovery is the Church. To them, in essense, there is nothing genuine outside their walls, so leaving is not an option. That's how the LCM holds people there.

I have no doubt the Blendeds have this mindset.

I'm not saying they consciously think this way. Some may, but most probably don't. I'm saying that when you get right down to it, they defer to Lee, so the effect is the same.
