I think CRI poses a great threat to cults.
In another aberrant group, members were specifically indoctrinated with the points CRI had to criticize about them and how to answer to people when these things were pointed out. Like in UBF, no meaningful answers or so, but pretty much a twist around in full circle by character assassinating Hank to prove that you don't need to liste to a person like him.
In the end, I came to my senses, now I'm willing to listen to people like him before I conclude something. It doesn't mean I necessarily agree with such folks, but if someone tells you that they don't have a story to tell: then these people probably know how detrimental their records are to the respective group.
CRI is good. Some cults would want to see them all dead, and that alone should encourage us to support their work.
