Church government should be a republic, with their leaders approved by the Spirit and the saints, and not some self-assumed oligarchy run by unnamed Blendeds in Anaheim.

How does the President of a Publishing House in Anaheim get to excommunicate ministers and elders in Ohio and Ontario?

I see no scriptural support for church government as a republic.

It is a theocracy with the Spirit at the top.

Sounds like a caliphate with an imam on the top.
