And I almost forgot to add about the brainwashing. Some people are spiritually strong enough to not allow their minds to be manipulated by people like this, but it takes a lot of energy to sit through sermons week after week and listen to every word the man (or woman) says and not allow it to penetrate. Most people cannot stand up under this kind of pressure, and we got exhausted in the process of trying. We sincerely thanked God when we no longer had to attend services because we were threatened with eviction.
