After perusing the documented instances of poor leadership, a visitor to this website will inevitably wonder: "Why does anyone remain in that church? Why doesn't everyone leave?" The simple answer is fear: fear of the world outside, fear of ex-communication and being "taken out of the blood", fear of family separation, and fear of losing the only close-knit community they know. This website has thoroughly examined these fear-based tactics and their powerful influence over the congregation. However, another critical method through which Isaac Noriega exerts control is by distorting or disregarding scripture and creating spiritual fear. He knows that many members do not deeply study their Bibles, instead selectively referencing passages to support their beliefs. In this post, we aim to analyze a few such instances and explore how they are used to manipulate and disorient the congregation of Golden Dawn Tabernacle.
