Time will tell regarding Driscoll but some of these innovators recover, come back to their ministry after it has difficulty continuing without their founder etc. Again, as I said I am sure you are more sensitive and interested in Driscoll because of his co-founding of Acts 29 but there you have to look beyond the microscope of Driscoll to see parallels in other ministries and other industries to understand not only the person but the scope of the issues. BTW---we might be able to add Watchman Nee into these parallels.

So for us the cult we were in didn't work out. So ... let's try it again, in another way, following another leader. That doesn't work, well try another. That one doesn't work out, try another ... etc, etc.
What's that they say about the definition of insanity?
