"If the pastor is really a shepherd he will be with the sheep in the fields and not in a castle as the master of all."

I really like that one...& that was one of the weakest spots of Berg...& then all these vindifications, a vision with that pen with rays emanating...I gotta split or what the name was...he could then equally minister to all via mail....big deal, he could have done the writing without "disappearing"...the hiding had to do with lack of courage...in "church" history there is probably not easily found another man, who was hiding from the public that long...some did for some time, but that long?...plus I believe more in the priesthood of all the believers...not all are teachers/preachers of the word necessarily, but I fail to see the necessacity of all this intricate church hierarchy...royal priesthood of all the believers is something else I think (1.Peter)
