Hmmm.
Why? Probably because, although it has played quite large in most of our lives, for either VERY short memberships like mine (2 1/2 years in the early '70s) OR long-termers, it was a TINY little cult, and still is, despite the megalomania of Berg and his made-in-his-own-image so-called "leaders and Bible teachers" (some of whom are still "waiting in the wings" for his return and justification; beleive it or not.
The bigger cults, although they might not focus a preoccupation with sexual perversion, are far larger, more powerful (like the Moonies, Travolta's group, Scientology, "offshoot Mormons" like Jeffs, etc.), and a lot more interesting over the long run to the general poplation.
It would NOT hurt my feelings if the tiny little cult died completely (whatever there current pitiful actual membership count is), along with any further interest in it, except what society can learn from its horrible legacy--in Berg's words, a "dandy bad example", or whatever that stupid phrase was.
