     Religious  leaders often call upon their  "followers"
to "repent".   Of what are the "followers" to "repent"?

     Often  religious  leaders are domineering people  who
are not pleased by the fact that their "followers"  do not
worship  every word of the domineering religious  leaders.
What they demand that their "followers"  do,  is to repent
of   their    failures   to   worship   the    domineering
religious leaders' every instruction and suggestion.

     What do domineering religious leaders need to  repent
of?   They need to repent of their EXCLUSIVE  affirmations
regarding their:

     1.  Beliefs,      5.  Formalities,   9.  Intentions,
      2.  Truths,       6.  Desires,      10.  Roles,
       3.  Rituals,      7.  Hopes,        11.  Scripts,
        4.  Ceremonies,   8.  Aspirations,  12.  Laws.

     When  people who are unwilling to listen  attentively
to  others ---  make  EXCLUSIVE  affirmations  ---    they
engender alienation,  estrangement and evil relationships.
Repentance is then in order.

     Domineering   religious   leaders  often  show   more
reverence/respect  for  the attitudes and thought patterns
of military-leaders,  gang-leaders, and political-machine-
leaders ---  than  they show  for  The Founding-Leader  of
their  particular religious tradition.    They dishonestly
pay   shallow  lip   service  to  Their   Founding-Leader.
Dishonest religious leaders'  behaviors do not merit their
followers' respect, honor, reverence or support!
