Women, men, and Mike Peters
writen by a concerned friend
If you value your marriage and place a high value on family,
then beware
before you join the church of Indianapolis or Columbus or buy into the
allathisfeet.com theology.
If you are already a member
– please, for the sake of your family – read on.
Within the group, there is a very manipulative cycle that is built on guilt and a contortion of the
word of God.
The women of this group are very close – they share child rearing, home
schooling
and cooking duties. No woman may go shopping alone without a male escort. Generally
it is not the husband, as husbands and wives are
discouraged from time alone. Everything is very controlled – even at the
grocery story. A male at the checkout counter will be avoided and the woman,
along with her male escort, will find a female staffed checkout
line.
During the day there is much conversation back and forth and the "sins of
the husband"
are revealed regularly. The senior male members of the group meet with the women
every couple weeks, where those sins are openly shared.
The senior leader then confronts
the man with his sin and the man is
expected to repent – often publicly. These are not always major sins, but
sometimes the smallest of deviancies
that should be handled in a much gentler way.
The woman – who thinks she is building her man up – actually is destroying him through
this process. She watches him being humiliated – which plants a seed of doubt of
the husband’s
worth. Then during the humiliation, he gives in, “broken” by the group
guilt, which further diminishes his strength in her eyes.
God put the need for a man within her soul – but the woman of this church is
left with
a gaping hole. Because her man has made mistakes in the past – and continues to
make them, this grace-less group of guilt and shame leaves the
woman empty. So she finds solace, relief,
comfort, and shelter in Mike
Peters. He is the last true man standing. He is smooth.
He is spiritual. He is the security. While no sex or tenderness or affections are
exchanged, an emotional affair of sorts springs up.
Peters does nothing to discourage this. In fact, he feeds the beast with
even more
accusations of the husband, even encouraging women to ‘withhold affection’ until
he repents. From this, a powerful ego-fueled trip is borne
that extends to dozens
of women.
Unfulfilled by their men, some of the women even sleep in different
bedrooms. They avert their
eyes. They choose to stay in the homes of the
more spiritual. They train their children to
‘not listen to daddy until he
repents.’ Inside, however, they are broken. They know
that God has
established marriage as a model of his church and woe to those who
tear it
asunder.
So finally, as a man, you are broken. Your wife no longer loves you. Your
leaders have emasculated you of your authority. But you stay, because you want the marriage
to work. You stay because you think you’re not holy enough, you’re not deep enough; you’re not yet God’s man.
You think that somehow, someway, you’ll get back on track. But there is
always another new
sin that you must crush, another
weakness to control. And meanwhile, the
wife of your youth has left
you emotionally for another.
It’s not too late. Shake
the grips of guilt, shame, exposure, and pride.
If you are woman in this group, encourage your husband to leave. Save your
marriage.
Save your soul. Don’t be fooled. Mike Peters has mangled your
sense of perception
and in turn you have unfairly manipulated your man.
If you are a man, don’t be broken. Stand up for what you know is right. You must
for the sake of your marriage and your family, leave now. Don’t wait for things
to get settled or for the storm to pass. Pack up this weekend.
Leave what you don’t need.
Start the car up
and DRIVE TO FREEDOM!
