yes, some of the teachings were very good
I would not go that far..and please feel free to provide examples.
Being able to say, "Yes, there were certainly good people in this organization--and, yes, some of the teachings were very good," in NO WAY suggests that it is a worthwhile organization. ; It isn't. ; Despite any positives, the leadership is deceptive, manipulative and continues to ruin people's lives in order to protect their authority.
Nicely put with the one exception I noted above.
So sure, bashing probably doesn't help, but the venting involved is important IMO. And posters here change in the way they exit and progress as humans all the time. Sometimes a lot more patience is required by those that are beyond most of it and lard knows I am one of them!..
Why do they have to be in 'sole possession' of something good in order to be considered (in some way) good?&
I think I was only trying to point out that they as a group and as ministers all of them supposedly live to a higher standard when in fact there are gillions of people that outshine them in every day life. They are not exemplary human beings as a group by far and in my mind do not deserve any special distinction. Just my 2 cents really.
