Bullies are
chameleons. They try to look spiritual and concerned. But their behaviors are
destructive, toxic, and hurtful. Don't be fooled!
Boards don't
deal with church bullies because they are intimidated by them. That
intimidation is a form of control by bullies, which provides
them license to continue their bad behavior. As we will see in

of operation, and the response of many church leaders is passive acceptance of
their behavior because they are cowed by that intimidation. Don't be!
