4. You use guilt and shame as a way of controlling. Mean leaders will come up with some of the most unbiblical tactics to keep people in their fold. Often times they make others believe that leaving their ministry will result in personal harm or might even lose their salvation. I’ve heard it said that if a married couple left a particular church that their marriage will end in divorce.
My friends, these are real curses being spoken into weak Christians. Many of these weak Christians buy into this nonsense out of pure ignorance and end eventually end up in very bad personal situations simply because mean bullies who call themselves Christians went about spewing poison into these innocent lives. Don’t be this kind of a leader!
