I heard a lot of this, and it was awful environment to be in. No one should be subjected to this type of behavior as a Christian, including husbands, wives and especially children.
This is similar to the learned helplessness idea. Is the leader of your group funneling money to immediate family members? ''Take the cross" etc etc

But does the NT tell us to allow this? Not at all! "Remove the evil man from your midst" and "If he still won't hear you, tell the church".
