Hi FCSLC,
When it comes to the assumption by TLWF leader that shepherding involved meddling, I mean involvement, in every aspect of a 'sheep's' life, I always refer to this scripture (below). Ironically, John, in the Unfolding and Unwrapping messages, was leaning away from the heavy-handed sheperhding approach to the 'sheep'--at least when it came to the third generation. Of course, in some cases, it seemed to lead to them being a law unto themselves. BTW, given the tone of those messages, I find it hard to believe Hargrave listened to them so intently, claiming to have heard one particular message 30 times (I guess he was counting).
"Be shepherds of God's flock that is under your care, watching over them--not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve;
not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock."
1 Peter 5:2-3
