Several people left the church. These folks had been controlling things and their leaving was good for the church. The church wound up with a single pastor ruling and controlling everything. He took all the tithes and was accountable to nobody. I have to wonder if that didn't result in another bad situation but just to the opposite extreme. Yes, there were water and Spirit baptisms and the overall numbers increased but didn't they wind up with just a different set of problems?

That happened more than once, and the end result also was not good at all. I disagree with VB's approach and focus, one man control as you point out in not a cure all.
