Different from the style you indicate here, as well as that shown by Mr. Lee (think of the Jane Anderson affair, Max Rappoport, etc).
Jumping people in public doesn't seem like you are following Jesus. And if you are not following Jesus, how can you claim to be God's deputy authority?

There's not a single verse in scripture to justify this kind of "management style." Their teachings about "God's government" are mostly just an elaborate justification for hot-tempered alpha-dog leaders who beat down their rivals into submission.
James and John were also called the "sons of thunder," ready to rain down God's judgment from heaven on other believers. In no place did the Lord support or promote that kind of behavior.
