42 the "pious asshole comment" is about a PM I recieved that you did not see!

As for the cult situation I was worried that this group of people are after more than the spiritual advancement of the folks that seem to be enchanted by the leader. There is no indication that they have asked for money yet! And I feel that mentioning thier name might be slanderous!

If they are genuine good for them and good for him! I wish them well!
I was just worried about someone I cared about!

And yes I probably am just feeling hurt and betrayed but the cause for concern was that said friend WAS looking like shit, And becomming more of an introvert, and these have indicated depression in him in the past! And depression is a very scary thing (my wife had it for years before she died)

Most people shrug it off and say thet they are doing thier own thing.
