Pastor Bob down at Puddlejump Community Church writes 200 books. Pastor Bob has an opinion on everything. Pastor Bob can correct everyone, and does; they call it 'training' or 'perfecting'. But no one can correct Pastor Bob. Some of Pastor Bob's children are involved in controversy with the church; money is lost and sexual misconduct is repeatedly noted; those who object are branded rebels. Only one publication is permitted, that of Pastor Bob. Any who question Pastor Bob end up leaving. Church members are told not to read anything that questions Pastor Bob, they'll be "poisoned". And they're told not to think, but to "get out of your mind". Pastor Bob's followers say that he's God's deputy, God's oracle, the ministry of the age, the last spiritual giant, the apostle of the age, God's humble bondslave, God's special anointed servant.
So I ask, what happened, here?
1. God's unique expression on the earth today.
2. ?
I don't like the word brainwashing, and probably haven't used it on this forum, before this. But I'm trying to understand what happened here.

Oh brother Aron, brainwashing is simple. It's when something happens to someone where it's like their brain has been washed. Pauls' 'old man new man' for example, or even being born again. It's like the brain has been washed clean, of the old (not like bro EvanG paints it ; like it's a big deal CIA thing).
But when you told that story of pastor Bob I got it. I got
THE VISION.
Need I say more? Really?
Okay! I will! My mind was washed clean. Let's all say it together. Let's shout it from the rooftops. It's been -- trumpets -- drum roll -- BRAINWASHED!!!
