My first comment was about my experience in the 1st apostolic church I attended. Asking questions was met by “do you know more than the pastor? Are you wiser than the pastor?” And “you’re in rebellion.”

She was met with “you’re an antisemite.”

Systems, whether religious or political are all rather the same.

Pretty recent. Yes, I think she is a sedevacantist.
My main point in posting this was because what she said, concerning not being able to question Zionist actions in modern Israel. How by merely questioning their actions she was labeled an Antisemite. Which exposes the ones accusing her as having no answers to her questions. Therefore they do a hit piece on her.

I believe that is a fair assessment of some individuals. I've always viewed the comeback of "“do you know more than the pastor? Are you wiser than the pastor?” as a cop out. Let me explain, if I'm asked a hard question, or a series of difficult questions. It's not necessarily an altercation of lets play "stump the preacher." It is mostly people didn't understand and need to have clarity on a topic. Wanting an explanation of what is going on, or why we do what we do. Nothing is more frustrating then "Do you know more than me?" being flung back when clarity is needed. Because in plain English, it simply means "shut up and accept what I say." Sorry, I know that might sound bad to those in the big seats, but sadly it's true. Being in Bible studies out on the street, where all sorts of individuals sit down and ask questions, or want to have your head. Trying to turn things around with "Do you know more than me?" Would only be met with pitch forks, torches and a jog to the nearest windmill. If you don't have the answers, doesn't make you a bad preacher. Just means you don't have an answer. Figure it out, and comeback. Or sit down with the questioning brothers and sisters and figure it out together.

Funny, I was told that when I would mention my position on eschatology. I wasn't even a Preterist back then.

That's debatable.
