"If anyone comes to me without turning his back on his father and mother, his wife and his children, his brothers and sisters, indeed his very self, he cannot be my follower" (quoted from entry)
Now doesn't this sound like a modern cult, ordering people to come into the cult ignoring the pleas of the rest of the (semi-)sane world: and forgetting the needs of themselves (suicide: cf. Heaven's Gate) !

Exactly. I think that the more people investigate this kind of thing, the more it looks like Just Another Cult... and one that has far outlived its usefulness.
I can't take credit for the quote, though... that quote is straight out of the New Testament.
