You should be doing more." I was speechless. Like I didn't even know what to say to that. After that, I stopped going to meetings. Shortly after, I read the Jo Casteel open letter and the John Ingalls account, and I officially decided that I was completely done with it all.

There's a verse that says, "The leech cries, More! More!" That always comes to mind.

One day in the outlines of the HWMR, I noticed the prevalence of the word "need". We need to, we need to, we need to... then we must, we must, we must, then we ought to, we ought to, we ought to, then we should, we should, then we have to, we have to.

Open one up at random some time and count these kind of statements. It's pretty amazing when you see what's going on. These people claim to be satisfied in Christ, yet they keep imposing their unfulfilled needs on others. It's like a black hole of need, where you keep putting in, and nothing comes out except cries for more.
