Hello Amazing,
a good post! Tipical actions of "christian
elders"... Btw I do agree with jschwhem :
“The mystical manipulation is that the elders used their knowledge that they obtained from their spy network to make it appear as though the group has God's backing and mystical power. Plus they are using this private information about this young man to control him. Secondly, the spy network and using that to force the young man to confess so that they can use his "sin" against him to control him is a good example of the cult of confession. These manipulative techniques are used by cults of all kinds and they are insidious. Any group that uses these techniques is nothing more than a large dysfunctional group.”
