How many folks have left and are scared to death to return to any relationship with God. How many have gone insane under the influence of the fear generated by defining God as a monster. Gratefully that is not the approach nor focus of true biblical ministry. May God continue to guide the church out of the dark ages.

You made some very good points. I find it very concerning to hear people justify or even seek out ways to be harsh to people.
Laurel, MS and Verbal Bean were rare ministerial exceptions and for whatever reason God used him mightily.
But he is not the proto-type Apostolic Minister in my opinion.
Stick with the main and plain, and you never go wrong.
