I just found a blog with a page titled, "'Authority' In Churches." It is a re-posting of a Web article by Bill Newcomer, in which he listed several words typically used by leaders of abusive churches, and the ways in which these words are used. It appears that Mr. Newcomer escaped from an "elder-led" (actually, elder-ruled) church typical of many that are springing up now in evangelicalism. Funny how even though such churches are not as outwardly weird as the Geftakys Assemblies - my old abusive group - the language and tactics of control and domination remain the same. Anyway, the blog page is http://adsthma.blogspot.com/2008/08/authority-in-churches.html.
