It could be I am ignorant what it is to take the cross. I've considered that. However I firmly believe that taking the cross is to willingly embrace to be abused.
That's what it comes across in the local churches. If you're a leader, all those you supposed to lead are at your disposal to be abused. If someone will resist being abused, they don't know what it is to bear the cross. As for the leaders there's no accountability as one once told me, they only answer to the Lord.
