I’m magnetized these days by the Marshall McLuhan / Neil Postman / etc. idea that the “medium is the message”. YouTube is a medium that conveys a message of entertainment that harmonizes with the Pastor Tom’s authoritarian (divine) appropriation as well as his spirit and attitude (narcissistic, unreflective, abrasive, intolerant). It’s not surprising there would have been dueling YouTube response/deletion - why wouldn’t Pastor Tom view an on/off oppression against dissent as rational/appropriate? Make no mistake, Pastor Tom would make his ideology not just religion but the state (government) by any means possible. Imagine that world. It makes “The Handmaid’s Tale” (novel or Hulu series) seem like a walk in the park.
