According to the holy internet it appears the teachings of Pentecostalism are taking over Catholicism and much of Christianity and I just can't get behind it probably due to my experience with the "primordial soup" of JRS which was the LW teachings (coined by TheSarge.) That soup included not only the teachings of Pentecostalism but also JRS's freakish creation of a hierarchy of ministries (many unqualified as pointed out by Apostle Dog) who used their position in the church to beat people down while demanding submission and respect. The brainwashing of congregants to cower under that controlling behavior is just plain wrong and flies in the face of decency and the essence of the message of Christ. The fact that ministries twist the scriptures to get the upper hand in lording it over the congregation I believe is wholly unacceptable in the eyes of God and should be resisted at all costs.
