Review content:
The worship is great and the preaching seems spirit led, but you will soon find out after you've invested yourself and immersed yourself into their ministry, the truth. The majority of activity is related to the expansion and operation of “the ministry.” Families are reduced to “giving units.” There is a continuous emphasis on financial giving. The bulk of their energy is to get and retain new families while older families are ignored. There is a high turnover rate in staff especially with the youth pastors. Most of the other leaders or pastors are related to the pastor himself. There's no real accountability in this hand picked circle. There is a “pile of dead bodies behind the bus” that most don't know about. 100's of people have left, were shunned, or kicked out in the past decade. Something is very wrong. They have an elitist attitude. “A church with an elitist attitude believes ‘no one else’ is really preaching the gospel—except that church. Or at least, no one is preaching it as effectively as they are!” Many churches they visit will "not have the presence of the Holy Spirit" and this is shared with the congregation at MO.
People cannot question the pastor or the leadership structure—even regarding the spiritual abuse itself. “It is not permissible to talk about problems, hurts and abuses in the abusive system.” Questioning is seen as a sign one is not “on mission” with the pastor. People with valid concerns who break the “no questioning” rule become part of the problem AND ARE ASKED TO LEAVE. When a member is hurt by the pastor or a leader “they are made to feel at fault for questioning or pointing out the problem.” Concerns are stifled by the pastor's "yes" men.
People who do raise valid concerns are labeled “divisive.” The church has a practice of “shunning” or putting people “under discipline" or they are "kicked out.” If you're kicked out, you'll have an open wound for the rest of your life & may not be able to go to church anywhere.
