Agreed on that last point - and the "Shepherds for Sale" book went into some interesting details about far too many cases where those big name leaders compromised themselves for various purposes.

Local church leaders need to do a very difficult thing: sit down with the members of their congregations who work in health care and present to them the possibility that they are in a cult. Some of them realize that their industry is corrupt, and they are just working within it to provide balance and prevent harm. Some believe in it too strongly, and don't question anything, setting aside all critical thinking and deferring to the "experts". It really is idol worship, and they need to be rebuked for it.
