A lot of threads recently on forms of CULTURAL AUTHORITARIANISM, Including reconstruction, dominionism, theocracy. While it may seem good to impose a set of pseudo-biblical requirements on everyone, it removes our God-given right & responsibility to decide directions ourselves. 1
I'm an advocate of our freedom to discern and decide--while also considering potential positive & negative consequences to ourselves & our community.

I'm also a student of how destruction happens in congregation & community when related core freedoms are denied or twisted. 2
Here are some slides I created for tutorials on core concepts about key elements of freedom. I boiled it down to these essentials to be broad-based as possible because I work w/ both ministry systems for personal transformation & social entrepreneur projects for social change. 3
Here are overviews of counterpart strategies to corrupt & counteract freedoms, & some of these ways this is done to create a system of total social control. 4
Here are some details on what I see as the progression of how three core freedoms get corroded and replaced, with the net dehumanizing results being individual conditioning, institutional control, & ideological conformity. 5
Hope these key ideas spark thinking about opposing views & values behind authoritarian systems versus freedom-with-responsibility systems. I see these differences as crucial issues in our time, as they affect health or polarizing in our congregations, communities, & cultures. 6
These were part of larger set of 10 "Essentials" -- three-image tutorials on terms and concept sets that help us deal with "systemic abuse" and "historical oppression." The whole set is at this article, including definitions & descriptions of key terms.
