I agree with you!
With only one exception: As long as the 'controlling' is along what the bible CLEARLY teaches; then I can put up with it.
I want a LEADER in my church; not a CONTROLLER.
Sadly; many church's leaders these days think they NEED to be a controller, too.
"At last I shall give myself to the desert again, that I, in its golden dust, may be blown from a barren peak broadcast over the sunlands. If you should desire news of me, go ask the little horned toad whose home is the dust, or seek it among the fragrant sage, or question the mountain juniper, and, by their silence, they will truly inform you."
