Welcome, Lynne!
The organization is BS. Those who love and care within the organization do so despite the organization, not because of it. And you are surely not alone, not in the feelings of sadness at seeing a promise of an eternal future for what it really is, nor in the longing for the many people still trapped to find their personal release from the organization.
The good news is, the Internet has already delivered the death bite to that organization. The time has passed when they could hide what they are from the eyes of the average householder. It is increasingly common for people to check first with the Internet before devoting time to any enterprise, even going to the movie theater or buying a music CD. This ungainly beast of an organization is already gotten necrotic in large patches with much of its skin and muscle sloughing off as it goes, yet it still lumbers on to its inevitable end.
So, in addition to welcoming you I would like to encourage you to take the antidote: Live LIFE!

Welcome Lynne, fortunately your intuition put you on the right tracks before you got more deeply involved in the cult because that's what it is at its core. It makes little difference if the individual meembers are well meaning if they are being directed by leaders that are evil minded. Finally they are the ones that decide how the followers will behave.
