Do as I say, not as I do mentality. Hypocrisy and lack of love is the main reason people are hitting the exit. People are seeing right through these guys. They are doing a fantastic job of exposing themselves. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK WT!

between two congregations that i know of four elders have stepped down in the last two months!
there is something really going on in this mandmade organization!
