Farmer, if you as a Christian decided to join the Salvation Army or even the more secular Red Cross, that would be up to you, a good thing. You, as an ex-member would have my respect for that. If you believe that heaven is full of humanoid two-headed elephants that is freedom of religion. You as an ex-member would still have my respect, even though I might struggle with it and think you are stupid. But if we're not talking ex-member then I see it as a whole different kettle of fish.
The movement we all came from is kaput. Unsalvageable. It was founded on lies and false pretenses. There should not be a movement like that even though we can't tell them not to exist because of freedom of religion. If they simply remove what makes them who they are, the Mo Letters, the pipe dream they sell, the sexual doctrines, the lies, the leeching lifestyle, they simply wouldn't exist as a group anymore. Its members would not need to be together as a group. There would be no appeal, nothing binding them, nothing unique they can't find a better version of somewhere else. That's how much substance they really have when it comes down to it: nothing.
