"Towards the end of my stint at Shiloh, I was getting pretty sick and tired of ministries taking their own imagination for the voice of God."
That, in a nutshell, explains the insanity we were subjected to. God forbid that we ever applied logic or reason to situations. The will of God, apparently, was almost always something that would seem bizarre to a 'normal' person.
From my experience, the weirdness would often be justified by referring to the scripture that proclaims God's ways (ministries being God, of course) not being our ways. That scripture (Isaiah 55:8) sure got mileage in the little pernicious cult.
