About This Book

The author delivers a pointed exposé arguing that a religio-medical movement combines religious language and scientific terms to mislead adherents, centralizes authority in its founder, enforces harsh discipline, suppresses dissent, and monetizes healing claims. Drawing on legal investigations, sworn testimony, and contemporary controversies, he examines alleged false revelations, claimed divine authorship, organized autocracy, financial motives, bans on marriage, the handling of dissenters and critics, and the movement's therapeutic practices, presenting documentary detail and moral critique to challenge its legitimacy.
