Two types of leadership

I was born into a “Christian” cult. Fortunately, my family left this group whilst I was still quite young but none the less they have provided me with a great example of how not to lead.
The leadership in this group wielded authoritarian like control over their congregations. Any personal decisions had to be approved by them (who you could date, when you could holiday, who had custody over the children in a divorce, etc). All personal information had to be disclosed to them. The leadership was rich whilst my family lost everything.
This was a clear cut case of spiritual abuse. The leadership exerted ultimate authority with no accountability and used whatever verses suited to defend their actions.
