. A system of total obedience to those over you completely undermines this Biblical principle, leading ultimately to the Nazi ethic of innocence in the light of obeying orders. The Nazi ethic and the type of totalitarian obedience Stevens has in mind is an analogy that should not be lightly dismissed.
Hence, the words on the tape that I heard, the ones that made me wake up and smell the coffee, when JRS said something like : When you submit to an elder, even if the elder gives a bad word, God blesses you for your submission."
Now think about the girls that murdered for Charles Manson, of course they went to prison for their crimes, but according to JRS, God honors their submission.
BTW, thanks Lily Rose for those page numbers, I remember now, that is where I heard about the the churches walking out on Stevens.
That makes a lot of sense, that principle may be at work even now, and certainly through the Gary/Marilyn totalitarian reign, that may be why people can see their family members and friends thrown out and still remain loyal.
I feel like doing this, it is time that we see that lie broken, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, THE LORD REBUKE THAT SPIRIT THAT IMPRISONS THE MINDS OF HIS PEOPLE.
