Just as you saw through the illusions of TM eventually. Good for you for examining these things. The answers are out there. Check out the archives on that ex-amma website, and you will get reams of first-person accounts from long-term devotees, many of whom served in the Indian ashram for years and years before leaving. Don't be afraid of researching this, of finding out more truth. It can only lead you to still better things.
