Also, if you're going to demand that someone submits their life to you, it would nice if you would have something of value to offer, such as being an example of what a real 'walk with God' looks like. So many congregants unwittingly became victims of 'mentors', backed by Gary and Marilyn, that were just dysfunctional nut jobs. Hey, I was pretty nutty back in the day, but fortunately wasn't motivated to be viewed as Christ in the flesh, sparing some people of additional misery. Almost all of my progress in learning the rudiments of life came after I left the fellowship.
