Thank you!

I had assumed that that mind-control stuff was limited to the shepherding-and-discipling movement. I have some second-hand familiarity with this movement, through my goddaughter, who was a member of a predominantly Catholic (but ecumenical) "charismatic covenant community" for 23 years. This community was under the influence of a shepherding-and-discipling group called Sword of the Spirit. It all became very cult-like and abusive, so my goddaughter and her family left.

But I didn't realize that all of Pentecostalism was infected with this stuff. However, your analysis shows exactly why this would be the case.

Thanks!
