Charismatic Control

Multitudes of sincere and trusting believers are caught unawares in the virtually invisible web of religious captivation in certain Charismatic/Neo-Pentecostal churches. They are unwitting victims of spiritual abuse psychological enslavement and various forms of exploitation perpetrated under the heavy-hand of hyper-authoritarianism. That is to say the leadership of the church-group of which they are a part is dominating controlling manipulating and exploiting their followers for personal gain and private kingdom-building. Such authoritarian abuse is pandemic in some sectors of the Church and many of the perpetrators are prominent and respected leaders of church-groups or ministries espousing otherwise orthodox Christian beliefs whose membership is comprised of a cross section of average Americans-individuals and families-of every race education level station and walk of life rather than radical fringe religious sects and cults as many would suppose. Though religious predomination is certainly nothing new and hyper-authoritarianism is by no means limited to the Neo-Pentecostal branch of the Church it has especially flourished in the Charismatic and so-called "third and fourth wave New Apostolic Restoration" (i.e. Neo-Pentecostal) groups since it was infused into the very fabric foundation and functions of that branch of the Church in the early- to mid-1970s via what became known as the "Discipleship/Shepherding Movement." The doctrines and practices spawned in that movement remain an integral part of the operations of many churches and groups today. Charismatic Control tells readers how - * to recognize unBiblical hyper-authoritarian doctrines and practices; * how they became a widespread integral part of the Neo-Pentecostal church; * why these teachings and practices are outright witchcraft authored by Satan Himself; * "The Common Control Mechanisms" employed by hyper-authoritarian groups and leaders.
