A few weeks ago one of our popular radio hosts here in Saskatoon aired a segment about a woman who had her kids kicked out of a private Christian school run by her church. You can listen to it here. She and a number of those called in described the church as manipulative and controlling.
Keith Johnson responded in his sermon.

Oh my. Keith Johnson has issues, doesn’t he?
“It wouldn’t do any good…it wouldn’t do any good…it wouldn’t do any good…”
It’s the scoffers/critics with the problem, not us, see I have bible verses. We’re fine, they are the ones who poison us.
Is anyone in the pews getting a clue? They don’t shut up and toe the line, they’ll be poison.
I’m Godly and I can mock people I’ve hurt.
Don’t listen! Lalalalala…they are like vomit!
Shun them!
I’m a saint, I spent years trying to help that lady, people laid down their lives, she’s not redeemable,
I preach God’s word and God’s word can’t be silenced, ego, I can’t be silenced. Pfft.
You know what was scary LT? All the giggles and murmurs of approval from the congregation. This is called shooting the wounded and it’s ugly stuff.

This turns my stomach. Yeah, just pull out a couple of verses from proverbs and you’re okay. Anyone who questions, criticizes or expresses the pain they have felt from any leader is pure poison. I guess it’s true in a sense: they’re poison to the potential of a church leader maintaining their position. God forbid that anyone think for themselves. Why hasn’t the “Christian Centre” built a mile high wall around themselves by now to avoid contamination?
Good for this lady to get out while she did before her children get any more buggered up.
