I don't know, Lily--and that's part of the mystery with them. I have no doubt they're calculating, exploitative, cruel...and have severely disrupted (negatively) hundreds of lives under their watch...but I don't know how they really see themselves. It's scary, but very possible, they believe they are exactly what they project to congregants--groundbreaking ministries who represent what God wants in this world.
BTW, the few direct encounters I've had with them always left me doubting myself, and literally spellbound by how certain they seemed to be about everything. That glare of disdain they have for anyone that shows reluctance to get with their program is something you don't forget.
