I love that you said that. Most of us were puppies when we got caught up in the Gnostic teachings of JRS but eventually we did get wisdom about it. James 1:5 If you lack wisdom ask God for it. He gives wisdom without condition to all who ask. When cult leaders convince themselves and you that the Nazi control of your life and spiritual abuse they dish out is for your own good, ask God in the Sky for wisdom about that. The spiritual pride and narcissism that possesses the cult leader who believes he/she as a Son of God has moved into Christ's place convinces them they have been given free reign over the lives of the members; nothing could be more false, divisive, and dangerous to your spiritual growth. That's the wisdom God has given me about it.
