In general, we should respect people, and leaders should be given (and be worthy of) double honor. Respect leaders while they are your leaders, i.e. while you are a member of their group. If you leave the group, they are no longer your leaders.

However, good sense says there must be a point where you can and even should speak up about another person's bad behavior. Leaders who use fear of judgment from God to force members to submit to them do not deserve followers, nor respect.
