My Rabbi is Chassidic, but nothing I have ever experienced is, in anyway, cultish. It's a growing community of people who actually care about life, this planet and the well being of people and animals. The same people, animals and planet who are swept up in the carnage created by ignorant, arrogant, self-serving humans who find pride in their own brain that they had nothing to do with creating. There are people on this planet who have very strong and real connections to G-d, as it were and care about right and wrong. They care about life and respect it because they are aware that they are here, exist and have realized they didn't create life, nor themselves. Perhaps you should go back to your Jewish center or find a new one and humble yourself before G-d and man. Yes, this would be good for you. You make no sense and seek to minimize, likely the most beautiful expression of love on this planet which are people who carry forward goodness and kindness.

However, as with all things with the potential to be even minutely profitable, some of the less resourceful family members have chosen to preserve and distribute the music albeit in a tainted form due to an altered form of the original purpose and intention. Ultimately, the spoken word is meant only for those who are present at the time and in the place it is spoken,the ego's need for recognition, personal profit and misguided desire to save the world notwithstanding.

The "Lucifer Rising 2 CD" set by Bobby Beausoleil & The Freedom Orchestra blows my mind every listen (up on Mutant Sounds now). The artwork to one of his later sets is pretty wild too: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ajourneyroundmyskull/3068507405/sizes/l/ You’ve inspired me to break out Yahowha’s I’m Gonna Take You Home, one of my all time favorite drug records.

I didn't go to my families house for two years because they didn't keep kosher all at the urging of my rabbi. As a lapsed Chabadnik, I can back up the fact that the Lubavitchers are indeed a cult.
