"Ted is a one-man show: it isn't about collegial cooperation with him, but control. He claims that Dan is regularly getting "beat up" (his words) by Ted, who wants Dan to make this division conform to Ted's model."

We would hate to accuse some one of blatantly lying, but this is what it is. Ted is not a "one man show" and has gone out of his way to show and affirm why this is true. But on a forum like this one, everyone says, "Amen and amen" simply because they want it to be so to justify their own rebellion against properly ordained church authority and stand behind Dan Jackson who is a major leader in this rebellion.

So, you can continue to affirm each other in your rebellion, but it won't change the facts of the matter. Any objective investigation will show that this idea is false.

If the church has gone outside of scripture, start your own church and quit "cry babying" all over the church because you can't have your own way.
