I gave a sermon on cults in early 80's which is what some of this sounds and looks like. While I agree with your basic ideas, I have seen this confusion of entangling of authority and abstaining from every form of evil over the past 60 years of being a Christian. This error regarding authority and headship excesses comes and goes. Sometimes involves sex lectures from men who are infatuated with it. My family has been damaged by some who are deeply warped in these areas. You are brave in bringing up this subject in my estimation.
I recall a book that was written entitled "religions that harm". Perhaps still available on thriftbooks web site. For the strong and well grounded only. The greatest Christians will always be those who are the best servants not some elite wanna be boss. We have to be strong and take on all comers. May we always do so.
