Hubby and I were on the leadership team of a small, independe...nt church. The pastor was a gifted man, a great preacher, and extremely talented at handling people. But the red flags were starting to mount up for us and we were becoming very uncomfortable. The brilliant pastor whom we loved was answerable to no-one. The leadership team, of which we were part, had no real input but was very much for appearances. The pastor was accountable to absolutely no one. No one at all. The pastor was beginning to chop us off at the knees - okay, negative reinforcement. We were hurting badly, and beginning to feel we could no longer support the pastor and what he was doing. Enter George Simon. I discovered him on youtube first, listened to him for hours, and then purchased all three of his books. Point by point we ticked the boxes off on our covert aggressive pastor. Which was enormously helpful but the source of fresh pain. How did we make such a mistake as to support an emotionally manipulative man for years? Well, we made that mistake. And now we are moving on. And we can thank George Simon and his very well written book, which is professional yet an easy read, for helping us identify exactly what we were dealing with. And the aggressive personality, the "character disturbed" personality as George Simon refers to it, is so much a part of our society today, that these books are very important reading for anyone seeking to understanding the culture in which we are living and function more effectively in that culture.
