"We" have often said that he is the leader of the "Lloyd Evans sect". JWs leave the JW sect and move over to the Lloyd Evans sect.
His supporters are dwindling by the month and he can't afford the embarrassment of begging for new supporters and their money again.
So what could be more obvious than slipping completely into the role of a "cult leader"?
His shrooms "story" is his way of explaining to the cult members how God came to speak to him.
Basically, Yong Myung Moon started the same way back then. The statement that he had a vision of Christ in April 1935 and in this vision Jesus asked him to continue his mission.
Now it has become easy for him to find supporters (and their money) from ALL religions. In doing so, he has laid the groundwork for a much larger audience than just JWs (and atheists).
From now on, all he has to do is sit in front of the camera and tell "stories" and copying the books and guides of other cult leaders. Easy.
