Remember, "every word of God's ministers as if it came directly from Jesus Christ." They fully expected and actually enforced that members would regard the ministry as role models.<br /><br />GTA used to say that authority can only exist where you choose to accept it. He also added the caveat that the door swings both ways. <br /><br />The bottom line is that in becoming a member of Armstrongism, you automatically accept and embrace a whole additional layer of authority in your life, one that is supposed to be regarded above any other authority that "normal" people have present. In other words, you give up your right to say "Well, that's just plain wrong! I'm not going to take it. Screw them!" and still remain a member.<br /><br />BBByker Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15602697337552385535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-2867009863981270062017-02-07T03:54:27.646-08:002017-02-07T03:54:27.646-08:00It is so sad that so many people look up to minist...It is so sad that so many people look up to ministers as if they are on a higher level of moral and ethical conduct because they are considered to be spiritualy superior then the lay members. The sick conduct of this man exposes the fact that any minister is not superior in any way to any lay member in any religious org. That is not only true in the armstrongite churches but in all churches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-226103369043606765.post-74163755555991041792017-02-07T00:16:33.381-08:002017-02-07T00:16:33.381-08:00Anon 5:40 I think your correct.

You are correct, I've encountered some characters over the years who respect no boundaries, they do, say, behave to their own rules.
