I don't personally have enough information to reliably reach a conclusion on this at this time, which IS NOT meant to imply dishonesty on your part. I've read about this situation other places too btw. I just know that I haven't heard the other side and things aren't always as they seem, though I'm leaning your way.<br /><br />2. <b>IF</b> it is as you have here reported, then NO punishment could be too harsh. I would support prison at least for all culpably involved and maybe a lot worse for some.

The whole bit about setting it up so taht folks seek approval or affirmation of a leader is a sign.<br /><br />MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7971820842270330168.post-29711598701804106892013-05-25T12:54:05.604-07:002013-05-25T12:54:05.604-07:00Good post, Kristen.

The pastor, ironically enough, is the one that I told you about before (the one that was afraid that God would send him to Alaska after he got saved). <br /><br />One of my friends went there, and he left for two reasons: Their views on the Millenial Kingdom, and because the church seemed too clique-ish and less than friendly, which is what I noticed as well at times. <br /><br />Also, his friend and his friend's wife went there for a short time, and they weren't treated very friendly there, either.
