I forget how these rules work. Now, are we supposed to stone the two adulterers in the marketplace, or should we wait for the Lord to smite them? I forget how these rules work.

And he just invited me to his office to talk to him for a few minutes. And that was really incredible." "He said, ‘well, I guess you will just have to take your clothes off, because I'm going to have to love you.’ Whoa. And I thought, oh, God. You know, I didn't want to do it, but what choice did I have? I mean, I have been taught for all these years not to question him. And I had this word from God. I mean, God obviously wanted me to do this. And it was so foreign to me, but I -- I didn't know what else to do. I was on the spot. So, I took off my clothes, and we did it." She went on to explain how she was at his beck and call for sexual services for the next fourteen years. Paulk shared her with members of his family and visiting charismatic preachers. Paulk excused his behavior with his own personal theology called "Kingdom Relationships."</em> That <em>is</em> a cult, when the concentration of power is on one individual and the individual's needs trump the supposed goals of the organization, or when the organization has no other goal but to worship at the feet of the leader(s) as a supreme being who claims to have superseded and/or readjusted the most basic human moral codes in order to satisfy themselves. Like all other organizations like this, what a tragic waste of human energy, funds and resources! I googled and the first hit brought up this article and interview with Mona Brewer:

The Paulk family has expelled Satan from their lives and may now concentrate on living Christ-like, moral, pro-family values... while they defame Mona Brewer and insist she's a confused whore out for cash.
