I think many outside of Chistendom also consider Jesus Christ one of the largest cult leaders of all time. Jesus Christ claims He is the way, the truth and the life. Wow that is pretty strong words it really hurts the feelings of others who reject Him. Thieme is a human who sins and might even have an arrogant, opinionated, overbearing and redundant style but it seems this site compares him to Jim Jones. Take it or leave what He says, I do not agree with him on everything and also listen to other teachers. His teachings have never made me feel guilty for not accepting him as my only right pastor, I guess I just do not give him that power. I have many friends who are educated at college levels and they adhere to Christianity as a scam a cult and even a conspiracy to control the public, they are still my friends and they have that freedom and I have mine to believe what I will. I currently am not attending a local church because the ones I have tried have to much bass guitar and cheesy lyrics or have the whole AV thing going. I guess I will go drift a fly over a trout and see if it fools him but I will be careful not to join any flyfishing clubs because they may display authority over me and my thinking, "dryfly only or only use bamboo". The more I look around the more I see we are all in a cult, my goodness we have our kids pledge allegiance to a flag in k-12. A. cult is defined as pretty much any faith, belief or idea you adhere to. Please other readers feel safe to engage in Thiemes ministry and take him for what he is, a man from a different generation with a grouchy tone and some vocab to make illustrations. Please remember following Christ in any way is cult like, look up cult in the dictionary and make your own decision. As for me I will keep trusting in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and maybe even get someone involved in flyfishing as well. God Bless you all and me too!
To woolybugger: I submit that G-d is not a cult. The air you breath is not a cult. The body you are in was not a gift from a cult, but a gift from G-d. Jesus was G-d in uncorrupt humanity. God's authority is perfect therefore submission to perfect authority does not corrupt.
While? Thieme was not G-d. Thieme was corrupt. Thieme's authority was corrupting
I think you fail to discern the REAL infinite POWER differences between PERFECT authority of G-d and the corrupt authority man.
I think you are a "proving" example to everyone how thiemites falsely equate and "marginalize" G-d to and for Thieme.
1 John 2: 26, 27
For example under Thieme's false and damaging system, G-d the Holy Spirit is (marginalized) powerless to teach (you won't get much out of it and never make it to super grace) unless Thieme is teaching, the Holy Spirit is just relegated to bench warmer in the dugout. Not even completly on the bench, unless Thieme is pitching. Even the Holy Spirit is relegated to some gray area of incompetence when Thieme is not "teaching" Thieme's false doctrine of right pastor is a malicious political false doctrine for the Reichwing and it's criminal conspires. It does not exists in the Bible . It is the rich enslaving the poor by falsely twisting Christianity. Thieme's false doctrine of right pastor greives the Spirit, regardless of your sympathetic pleas for people to see evil as good.
