One anonymous former Emissary using the <a href="/wiki/Pseudonym" title="Pseudonym">pseudonym</a> of "John" told Westword that “It's like being a rape victim,” referring to his time in and subsequently leaving the group. He said it's like “You've lost years of your life. You're ashamed for having been fooled, and thinking about it, going over it in your head, is very unpleasant.” John also detailed how the Emissaries believe that spiritual resonation through Attunement may be used to cure diseases, which they say are caused by negative emotions. John claimed that, after one Emissary contracted pneumonia, the Attunement he was treated with did not make him better and that his condition significantly worsened until EDL authorities were convinced by someone to take him to a doctor. John further added that “The cost to somebody who pursues their program is high,” and that “You give up your career and educational aspirations, you give up your ability to make your own decisions. They're essentially a little fiefdom whose main purpose is the comfort and self-aggrandizement of a small elite."<sup id="cite_ref-sunset_at_sunrise_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sunset_at_sunrise-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Expanding on this, O’Keeffe wrote about how former Sunrise Ranch residents complained that the then-small allowance of $100 a month that each Sunset Ranch resident received for their work essentially trapped the Emissaries on the ranch. "You become a slave. You work all day for nothing, because you're made to feel like you're sacrificing for God," said Renee, another interviewed ex-Emissary who left the group eight years after joining. There was a $10 charge to drive an Emissary vehicle into Loveland, and a $30 charge to use one to go to Denver, claimed Renee. The EDL's education director at the time, Alan Hammond, responded to these claims by saying “I'm not sure how many citizens have housing, food, medicine, vitamins, and supplementary income provided.” He added “Most people don't live as well as the people at Sunrise Ranch," and noted that EDL member stipends had been only scant a few years prior (before 1990) because the EDL was not as affluent at the time.<sup id="cite_ref-sunset_at_sunrise_31-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sunset_at_sunrise-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Some former female Emissaries also claimed that other Emissaries "played sexual power politics", according to O'Keeffe. According to Renee, "As long as a man is in a higher spiritual position than a woman, regardless of whether he is married, he can have sex with her.” Renee further explained that "It's set up to promote spirituality, but ends up justifying for men their desire to have sex with whomever they want to.” To this, Hammond responded “We believe in doing the noble and honorable in all things, and particularly in sex, which is such a core area of living.”<sup id="cite_ref-sunset_at_sunrise_31-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sunset_at_sunrise-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Another former member, David, described the leadership of the Emissaries of Divine Light as "an autocracy", explaining how, after the death of former leader Martin Exeter, there was no discussion from the followers about who should lead the Emissaries before Exeter's son Michael became the new leader. David first got involved with the Emissaries after attending a lecture hosted by Emissary George Emery in Madison, Washington that focused on “<a href="/wiki/Holistic_living" class="mw-redirect" title="Holistic living">holistic living</a>." “He was a Salesman, and a very good one,” said David about the Emissary. After, Emery had invited David to an upcoming weeklong seminar in Indiana, saying that David was lucky as they had just had a cancellation and so had an extra spot available. “I jumped in with both feet first,” said David. However, David claimed that he wasn't made aware of the belief system of the Emissaries at first, and that it took years of classes that got progressively longer and more intensive before he fully understood. To this, Hammond denied the notion that the Emissaries intentionally leave people unaware of EDL beliefs over a long time, and said “We're endeavoring to help them find themselves as soon as possible.”<sup id="cite_ref-sunset_at_sunrise_31-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sunset_at_sunrise-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Nancy Miquelon, a former Emissary who had (before 1990) since joined the <a href="/wiki/Cult_Awareness_Network" title="Cult Awareness Network">Cult Awareness Network</a>, said that the Emissaries of Divine Light are a <a href="/wiki/Destructive_cult" class="mw-redirect" title="Destructive cult">destructive cult</a>.

Renee agreed, saying “Ray Mickelic found justification for what he did from the Emissaries.” Other ex-Emissaries said that Mickelic may have thought he was part of a chosen group who could do no wrong. To this possibility, Hassan said that “It may weaken a natural human system of checks and balances, a system that keeps deviant behavior in check.” EDL officials, however, said that Mickelic was not deeply involved at Sunrise Ranch. Mickelic was hired to produce calendars for the ranch and was "involved in other Sunrise business transactions." “Everybody acts like they didn't know Ray, but Ray was part of EDL for years," another ex-follower said. Hammond rebuked these claims, saying “Let me say unequivocally that Ray never picked up anything at Emissary meetings that could justify what he's accused of."<sup id="cite_ref-sunset_at_sunrise_31-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-sunset_at_sunrise-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>31<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Referring to Michael Exeter, “The man running the show now is more concerned about the effects of people's actions on each other than his father,” said Renee.
