I stand a little corrected: The article, which is not by Ross but by someone else, speaks of the "inevitability of such abusive phenomena in training organisations and the impossibility of inoculation against it." So the author thinks that all "training organizations" tend toward "abusive phenomena" or dysfunctionality inevitably, which makes sense to me since, as we have tried to point out to UBF for years, all men are sinners and fallible and therefore need proper checks, balances and limits on their authority and power. But as others have pointed out, the need for checks and balances did not apply to Jesus in His discipling relationship with the Twelve, in which He was both perfect master and perfect servant to them.
