In this respect, Cleveland is no different than Anaheim. I have personally witnessed both headquarters willing to lay waste entire churches just as long as those last few saints, and the church properties, end up loyal to them. Of course, they always paid lip-service to the well-being of the individual saints, but as with politicians, pay attention to what they do, and not what they read from some teleprompter.
The fallen nature of gifted men, whether saved or not, is to build monuments and empires using the common man as their capital -- "
keep them busy so they can't complain; make them feel like they are part of something big." Whether "public servants" or in our case "servants of the Lord," it is just the same -- they become kings, and we become their "servants." It's all in the terminology.
The only thing the ministry cares about is the ministry. Exactly. And as long as this is the case, we will always have fights to determine who is on
top of the ministry. 'Cause that's what it's all about. But don't let any of the saints know this!
