Some need a father figure. The need is stronger at different ages. Authority figures growing up were our parents. We're especially vulnerable to hooking to a replacement father figure when we're entering adulthood. We want to be independent but still need an authority figure. And seems once we hook our wagon to that replacement it becomes hard to unhook it.
Of course we're talking earthly authority figures. Earthly authority figures are easy to follow. Spiritual Authority is an entirely different matter.
Spiritual Authority and earthly authority are at odds with each other. Witness Lee, for example, would not allow the moving of the Spirit to usurp his leadership. When it cropped up, like at Elden Hall, he was sure to put the kibosh on it.
Earthly authority figures will not allow spiritual authority. Follow the Spirit and you won't be around very long. If you've got any sense, you won't want to be.
