Leaving a controlling church can be difficult for many. People invest time, money, feelings and when they realize that they have been taken advantage it will make it very hard for someone to break free from those type of places. When someone is under the influence of a leader that is controlling is really a demonic stronghold. There are many leaders that control nations, organizations, and large groups of people. It is impossible in our human nature to be able to have control over that many people. People who have this type of control are under the control of a demonic power.
