Expresses surprise at the spread of the movement, and the use of psychological tools in the encontros.#
Points to Valnice Milhomens and Rene Terra Nova as the one's responsible for introducing G-12 to Brazil.#
points to the fact that members of a G-12 cell can also be members of other churches allowing G012 leaders to exert influence, even control, over other churches.#
points to the centrality of prophecy and visions within G-12 even when related to practical decisions such as marriage...referred to as transcendental decisions...authority of the leader not to be questioned.#
Leaders seen to have divine authority, esp. Valnice Milhomens who refers to herself as a “spiritual authority” and as able to release the power of the Holy Spirit.#
