Dallas, curiously enough, what you decribe here as the reasons why Robert
Crosbie left the Headquarters by free will (according to ULT history) is on
the contrary exactly the same reason why Robert Crosbie was ejected
((according to Point Loma history).

The problem with that book is not with that what is in, but with that what
was left out.
Some say the kind how facts are selected give the reader a misleading
imagination about what happened.
This books gives me impression that self-righteousness is better than
self-criticism.
In the worst case one could say a fanatical sect under self hypnotization is
faking the facts to make themselves always looking good. I have seen this
sheme in all the splinter groups (Hartmann, Temple, I Am,
Anthroposophists).
All they claims to be the better ones. Perhaps that's a needing paradigma
for them to survive.
The same experiments I have made with Communists. They are always eager to
quote from Karl Marx, no matter what facts you present from the real world,
they have always a quote from Marx that it is not so.
