“This self-help group you started has turned into a cult.”

Special thanks to @queen-of-pinkskull for the prompt!!
"What? Why, because a group of like minded people came together. They believe in a book and it's author and use these tools to better their lives?" She looked at me with an exhausted expression. "Yeah I heard it." I turned reluctantly to my number two "Mark cancel the party." "But" I raised my hand to silence him "you are a strong and confident man you can do this job I believe in you." Mark relaxed with a smile nodding before he turned and left. "Seriously?" Sara asked annoyed with me. "I can't compliment someone! Is that also "part of a cult?"" I asked using finger quotes as I rolled my eyes. "No I guess not," Sara said frustrated, we walked out of my garden to the house I greeted each person we passed with a smile and a wave. "You know you are going to have to change." Her hand waving over my whole outfit. "What? No, I love this robe it's so roomy."
