   %COMPULSIVE EXCLUSIVE RELIGIOUS LEADERS CONCERNS+940724
    %LIBERATING CREATIVE WORKS HOLY SPIRIT LOVE JOY 940724

     Religious  leaders  who are  compulsively  and
exclusively  preoccupied with rules,  regulations,   laws,
prohibitions,   prescriptions,  proscription,   legalistic
systems, judgments and condemnations are:

     1.  Driven  by  (motivated & guided by)  fear of  the
unknown  which  they  have  repressed  in  themselves  and
others.

     2.  Engaged   in  collusive  games  of  mutual  self-
deception   and  are fearful  that  their dishonesty  will
be exposed by the works of the Holy Spirit.

     3.  Unable to recognize,  describe,  name,  and  talk
about  the  creative  and  liberating works  of  the  Holy
Spirit;  and so they often pretend that they are doing the
work of the Holy Spirit.

     4.  Confused by their own pretentions and arrogance.

     5.  Prone   to  believe  that  God  is  the   Supreme
Addictive  Father  preoccupied (as they are)  with  rules,
regulations,     laws,    prohibitions,     prescriptions,
proscriptions,    legalistic   systems,    judgments   and
condemnations---and  that they have been appointed by  God
to  be God's assistants in such preoccupations.   Thus any
people  who do not share their preoccupations are regarded
as unholy, if not evil.
