Yes.
Sadly in the land of the blind. The one eyed man is king. My opinion is that it is usually the people who prop up the king. Either they vote him in by ballot. Or they follow him all the way to the Kool Aid. Despots need an inner circle. They can’t hold authority without it. They need the groomers in the pews to keep everyone in obedience to the authority. If the Holy Ghost starts to move among the true believers, the inner circle will either put out the fire. Or report on what they view as rebellion. Yet, this is a double edged sword. Instead of a single despot with an inner circle. You have a congregation policing what the “elder” or pastor can present to the church. On one hand you have an individual looking to delegate power to themselves. On the other you have a group who look to delegate power to themselves. People always try to control and say it’s the Holy Ghost. 40,000 denominations in this country? More probably to be coming soon?
