Interesting point. I noticed that I still feel the "Spirit", a glow when I sing certain hymns, as a witness to me in my bosom, that I have done the right thing by leaving. I get goosebumps when I consider how close I came to staying in the dark. It really was a miracle I escaped, only with the help of...
Oh. I forgot, I no longer have faith. Errrr, so what was it?
I agree with you--they do believe they are so speshul, called and annointed, above criticism, going to join Jesus as a special witness...blah, blah because like so many egomaniacal celebrities, they believe their own press clippings.
But the funny part is, alone in the hotel room, they look in the mirror knowing that in their case, they are FAKING it, because they really haven't seen Jesus and haven't heard the voice of God saying "Hail fellow, well met," or whatever they're supposed to hear.
You look at them looking at each other with "loooove." It's the Emperor's New Clothes. One day as they are lovin' it up in their harmonious meetings, someone is going to say, "Give it to me straight Brother, you never saw crap, right?" or some ecclesiastically PC version of that. And that GA will slowly nod his head, then drum his fingers, his Rolex tap-tapping on the table, and some other GA would say, "You just said you never saw Christ." And he'll say, "That was a misunderstanding. I never said a thing..." Oh, to be a fly on the wall if and when they ever have an honest conversation that's not about the money, the cashflow, and is all about the facts, not the faith.
