light777,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences. You know, since leaving TLWF I've had more time to read and watch works of historical fiction. Nothing reminded me so much of the inner workings of the LW as literature depicting the royal court of King Henry VIII of England. The control, the intrigue, the affairs and lavish lifestyle. Most of all, the murder of wives who had become tiresome or inconvenient. The beheading of political enemies. Granted, there were no literal murders or beheadings. But people who had once been essential to the leaders could be ushered from the fellowship and seemingly "disappeared" at the drop of a hat. To top it off, they were given the illustrious title of "nephilim" and placed under a shunning order.
I like your list of adjectives, and I will add: SICKENING. I hate to disappoint anyone reading this thread who feels invincible to the capricious moods of GH, but you are not indipensable. At all. Just stop being a sychophant for a few days or weeks. Speak up once or twice, or even ask a question about the party line. You will see the other side of the boot you've been licking PDQ.
You asked, “What did any of this have to do with God?” NOTHING.
