I went through a long term recovery. Thirty years, but now I think I have a a handle on it. I realize that part of the reason for my cult being just that, a cult, instead of a pretty good church, was the insistence of the congregation ourselves to have a guru, a super-apostle, a spiritual father over us. That was a sign of the times, the need to have such a relationship was something that generation needed. There was a disdain for our real parents, we wanted a super cool father, so we sought one out, and we found someone that just was itching to fill the bill. We got what we sought after.
