I recently got the book too. I didn't like the implication that the EWF was _just_ a pyramid scheme. I like to think of that as one aspect of it, but that one can also follow a personal growth thing like the dragonewts.

Actually I think that the pyramid structure, and being worhipped like gods came relatively late in the development of the EWF, and that the movement was much more about personal growth and draconic connection in the beginning. This, I think, is as it goes according to KoS.
