So, if he's a bad guy, and he KNOWS that he's a bad guy, and even TELLS PEOPLE that he's a bad guy, why are some people so captivated by him?
He is an interesing guy. I think he sort of has that "bad boy" thing working for him.

Like, do you think he's trying to redeem himself somehow by giving his life to his so-called ministry?
Of course.

If he's an intrinsically evil man who wants to be good somehow, how's he to be faulted for that, you know?
I don't fault him for that. I have never portrayed Ole as being evil, Satanic, or anything like that. That is not what I mean when I say that he has a personality disorder. I do think he is very flawed, he is not qualified to be the leader of a church, and he has created a community that is toxically unhealthy. Part of the reason this has happened is that Ole is outside of any real accountability structure, like he would have if he were part of a denomination.

How do WE know what God is up to in all of this?
We don't. I am sure God has used Ole and Trinity for some things that are good. I just know that it is an unhealthy place that has also hurt a lot of people, and they do not want to take an honest look at the things they have done that are wrong.
