True story.
A cousin of mine has landed in a situation that is remarkable.
He moved to the Pacific Northwest last year to help in a church pastored by an old family friend he hadn't been around in years. He left the comfortable surroundings of his Ozark town and the whole family moved west.
It took a while for him to figure out he was in a very bleak situation.
His pastor controls every saints checkbook in the church. He refuses to let folks leave for vacations. He has told my cousin's wife that if she ever disobeys him the wrath of God will fall on her.
His wife has a weekly meeting with the ladies where she schedules their lives. Even to the detail of marriage details (if you know what I mean). My cousin is ready to move back to the Ozarks. This man has told him that if he does he will live in a continual state of disobedience, and will be cursed forever.
He said he would mark them as a family and wherever they go, he will call their pastor.
Don't feed me the line that radicalism is dead, and that cultism isn't a valid charge in some Apostolic circumstances. This man is a UPC pastor.
