If you read my post carefully, Cynthia, you will note that I did not say it is 'reasonable to be in a personality cult'.What Ghi said sounds reasonable, and in fact is reasonable, as it stands. And that is why people get into it before realising it is a cult. The fact is that premies do not believe what Ghi wrote, and his spin is entirely for the public benefit.
That is why it is dishonest, and why it pulls people into the cult. And that is why aspirants who want to be informed are generally appreciative of what is written here and other ex-premie sites.
I thought I spelt it out pretty plain and clear; I am not sure why you did not get what I was saying.
