It is sad to see this same pattern in the unsaved, as you mentioned, but is doubly sad to see this in church leaders. The apostle Paul faced this same battle during his entire ministry, and thank the Lord much of that was recorded, otherwise we all might be stumbled seeing this for the first time in those who were supposed to "watch over our souls." (Heb 13.17)

Yes, praise God for the exhortation and warnings of the real apostles in the word, Ohio! And you said it better than I. Scripture calls it another Jesus, but we know there is only one Jesus, this 'other' spirit is the enemy of God, working tirelessly to put a wrench in Gods' work.
It's important to see that the LR looks like a, walks like a, and quacks like a cult, it is indistinguishable from a cult in practice and form, in fact, and that, most all the cults I can bring to mind are deceiving people without claiming any faith in Christ. The LC look just like the world because, like those other cults, it has nothing to do with the Spirit of the Lord.
If I had known how the LC meets and ticks boxes that your average cult does, as a young believer first coming into contact (or getting love bombed) with them, I would at the very least, have been cautious or done some research on this group. Might have avoided the deception and the damage, although who knows? Those days were pre-internet, at least for me.
