I have called my dad Mr. Applewhite on occasion. He doesn't mind.
He's one of the ones actually cashing big checks each month.
He used to do all the meetings and would travel to speak. These days, he doesn't do much at all. Just cashing the checks because their network has grown so much in the past 25 years.
The first time I realized it had a "cultlike" vibe was when I attended a function in Atlanta and the group they belong too filled the entire George Dome. 80,000 plus people. It was like a giant church service.
