He constructed a public image of greatness but in private he was anything but. And if you were a good member, and did your duty, and marched in lock-step, and never asked questions or ever showed signs of not being adoring or had a mind of your own, you would never have seen the side of this man that many saw. Many got to see a self indulgent, self promoting, condescending, manipulative, hypocritical narcissist. And if he started another church, you couldn't pay me to darken those doors.

I agree with CC1, there will be another church. If not pastored by him, by one of the sons in law, with the man lurking in the shadows. And if the ALJC takes him or the WPF he'll connect with them because a big part of his identity was the preaching gigs around the world and country. He'll try to resurrect that. Or he'll get a revelation about grace (hopefully) and minister in a whole new way and actually do a 180 and begin pointing people to the cross, instead of uncut hair and shout down services.
