Many of us already had quite a few one-on-one discussions with leadership while still on staff about these concerns. In fact, some of us were fired and immediately escorted out of the office for raising them. The GFA leadership team lied when they said that none of us did this, just as they lied when they claimed that every one of us had an exit interview.
After receiving our letter, they did reach out to each grieved party attempting one-on-one discussions, but when we each responded thanking them for reaching out, we requested a group meeting. They initially promised such a meeting, but then refused to accept our invitations to meet and instead told us the board would investigate and get a response to us. Many months have passed and we still have not received any such response from the board.
How many times do they have to tell obvious lies before people stop implicitly trusting them? God will hold each of us accountable for how we conducted our lives, and when we are at the judgment seat, KP won’t be there with us.
KP is not a mediator between God and man, nor is any other Christian leader. Each staff member will be held responsible and judged for committing sin while doing something KP asks of them, including passive sins such as failing to love one’s wife as Christ loved the Church and gave Himself for her, or failing to go where God asks.
Also, KP is not a prophet. Each one is accountable for one’s own decisions and not obligated to follow KP in all areas of life. “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Tim. 2:5).
This authority issue is the root of the false teaching at GFA. How we long for all to see the damage it causes! This is how KP manipulates his staff into doing his will, regardless of whether or not he is in step with God’s will.
