Another problem is the confusion produced when referring to someone's ministry. Just what is being referred to? The black and white teachings? The way they were presented? The personality and attitude of the minister? How he or she conducted business? All these come into play when talking about a ministry. It's not just the teachings. Two ministers can share similar teachings and give very distinct impressions.

In the case of WL, however, there was more involved. Most ministers simply teach and allow you to make up your own mind whether to receive their teaching. WL demanded much more than that. He expected people to treat him like "the minister of the age." That alone for many is a serious red flag.
