[Maximilian]

Pel, some believe that the ends justify the means. This is how they use emotional encounters to keep people from leaving their church? While the prayer is going "God wants you to stay right where you've been planted." etc...

It turns loose this notion that anything that accomplishes a worthy result is itself worthy. Not safe IMO.

I experienced it first-hand. Realizing things I didn't agree with, I was emotionally manipulated, my intimate time with God hijacked by the stale breath of a human trying to turn someone's will back toward their own end. Of course believing that their end is God's end.
