Default Re: Group Think: A Sinister Snare For Elders and Congregations Alike

This dovetails perfectly with some questions I've wanted to ask the forum:

Going along with the crowd (i.e. groupthink) is almost never a good thing, because the crowd is almost always wrong.


So the questions are these:
  • What's the difference between oneness and going along with the crowd?
  • What's the difference between oneness and groupthink?
  • Give me an example in the Bible where a great spiritual person went along with the crowd.
  • Specifically when the LSM/LC encourages "oneness" to such an extreme aren't they in effect encouraging going along with the crowd and groupthink?
  • Can you come up with a definition of oneness that doesn't require going along with the crowd and groupthink?
