Seriously, though...
...insane delusions are an easy habit to fall into when...
a) ...your peers insist that God whispers in your ear...
b) ...you have millions of followers who hang on your every word, and...
c) ...you're support consists solely of people who are never allowed to disagree with you.
i guess you could make a case of more families being together although that might not be the best situation.
less cars and pollutants mean we can breathe better.
if you were ever uncomfortable in crowds, this could be good news.
I've built three model kits, binged two Netflix series, and am more well-rested than I have been in months...

"...why do lawmakers allow religious law to supersede secular law?"
Historically, authority figures who try and enforce or expand "privacy" laws tend to do so because they themselves have ugly secrets they want to keep quiet.

Technically, they've kind of always been a "very small sect"...
...but seriously, yeah, I have a tough time seeing how this would improve their long-term membership and asset fortunes...
...IMO, morphing into an e-religion can't help but further facilitate a decline, simply because a predominantly online presence makes it that much easier for faders, fakers, and fence-sitters to GTFO.

Despite all the reasons - justifiable or otherwise - that the Org kept wanting to handle this internally, I still occasionally find myself asking, gobsmacked...
..."HOW THE F**K did it never occur to them that this could and would come back and bite them on the ass???"
