Yes, and I think it was even more so entrenched in the ministry of G & M (Mom and Dad). This underlying certainty that God is appalled by human nature, and can't wait to destroy it with his Presence. Definitely a strain of sadism that is channeled through the "living word." And no, it's not the people's fault that they have this sensitivity to rejection, since it has been systematically, calculatedly ministered to them...basically as a tool to keep them subjected to the control of leadership.
