Any 'religion' or organisation, which attempts to have their adherents' minds behaving like regimented soldiers on parade, must ultimately fail.
Charismatic founders and leaders have a limited shelf life as both time and the evolutionary process inevitably 'educate' the followers.

These 'new' ideas are merely reflections of the dissatisfaction felt by the growing spiritual gap left by the demise of the previously extolled 'new ideas'.
