Interesting and accurate.

I have said before that the FV is not just a theology but a way of life. Those who have been caught up in the movement often exhibit certain traits to the chagrin of those who know them and love them.

One of those traits was identified in the post cited above: loyalty. Despite obvious wrong doings and aberrant theology, intelligent and seemingly otherwise normal young Christians are defending the FV men left and right. It is disturbing to see how deep this loyalty goes; almost to the point of fanaticism for some. Jeremiah 17:5-7 comes to mind.
