Revealing this truth too early would would result in "too steep a gradient" for the potential recruit. Hence, deception and economy with the truth is the "ethical" course. Indeed, it is deemed to be positively unethical to present the naked truth to an insufficiently prepared individual.
Can anyone attibute the above quote? I'll show you where I found it in awhile.

Sounds like Armed Forces recruitment officer training to me.

Both keep actual facts well away from the lower level members.
The word recruit does make one think of the military, dosen't it?
Knowing Ginger, I suspect we're in for a surprise.

If so, my guess is the quote can be attributed to L. Ron Hubbard.

Every act of a delegated authority, contrary to the tenor of the commission under which it is exercised, is void. No legislative act, therefore, contrary to the Constitution, can be valid. To deny this, would be to affirm, that the deputy is greater than his principal; that the servant is above his master; that the representatives of the people are superior to the people themselves; that men acting by virtue of powers, may do not only what their powers do not authorize, but what they forbid."

Self help cults is a catch all phrase for drug rehab and alcohol rehab cults, personal development cults like Est and the like. I think it is a term meant to distinquish them from the more common religious cults.

Yeah, I kinda figured that much. They still purport to be "help". A cult is a cult.
