Fascinating thread...
I used to drink the kool-aid. My wife and I participated in the "Financial Peace University" course offered through a local church. After going through that, listening to his show, seeing his HQ, reading this board and seeing this thread... I can definitely see flaws in the back half of his plan.

I took the course with the sole hope of finding out the names of his 4 mutual funds.

Like I said, for 95% of the public, his advice is solid. Don't buy crap you can't pay for and pay your high interest debt off ASAP.
The thing that strikes me is the ego and the paranoia. I guess they go together. I was also told later that he has a habit of promoting without pay raises. You could go from entry level to director within a year, and have the same salary with 10 times the responsibility.
They had weird titles for their jobs. The job I interviewed for was a Marketing and PR mid-level position. Normal companies would call it "Specialist" or even "Assistant Director." The title of the job was "Marketing Champion."
Every day at 9:13 am, everyone would get together in the lobby for a pep rally. All part of the cultish behavior. I was told that there were numerous firings that occurred if people didn't appear excited enough. No matter how stressed you were, no matter what was going on your life, if you didn't clap and high five during "We will Rock You" someone would notice and you'd be in a meeting that afternoon.
