What you did was a very liberal thing...hit piece. A good example of that is your quote here..”Moreover, the type of adulation “above that which is written” (1Cor. 4:) exhibited by some of his followers is disconcerting, and Masters also once boasted, “I could get people to die for me any day. I’ve got more power over people than Adolph Hitler and Jim Jones combined, because I’m smarter. I know how to push people’s buttons” (Los Angeles Times, 12/3/78; http://www.watchman.org/cults/newdimen.htm).";
What you left out was Roy was using that as an example of how he knows how to use the mind control techniques of evil people, but NEVER would. It was merely said in that light to explain that he knows the info about the darkness, and you are actually using that to a degree with your judgment of a very good man. That is all I will say and it is religious hypocrites like you that give Christianity a false name. God bless though! You don’t know how much you need it.
Can you provide the article with the missing context? I would like to see it, while the the level of adulation of him, even as a “very good man” while denying the Deity of Christ and making being born again into a process, and that the Bible itself is not the standard for truth, but his highly subjective understanding of it, and denigrating listening to preachers (does he ever recommended one?) while exalting himself, indicates to me that rather than NEVER using the mind control techniques of cults, then he knows the craft too well.
LOL! Now letting us know the truth, that Masters denies the essential Christian belief in Jesus as God, is a liberal hit piece. Who knew?
Tnx, Dan'l.

No, on the contrary, daniel1212 did something increasingly rare in today's uncritical Christian environment - employed spiritual discernment. In his own words, Masters shows that he doesn't even understand the fundamentals of the doctrine of the trinity but expressedly speaks in modalistic terms. The simple fact that he cannot clearly express the concept of the trinity is a huge red flag. Studying under shaman witchdoctors, etc is another - absolutely NO evidence he seriously studied the scriptures.
Roy Masters teaches another Jesus, one that we are scripturally warned not to follow.
