Apotheosis (improper exaltation) of the leadership. Leaders are ascribed God-like homage and sovereignty, not only over the operations of the church or ministry organization, but also over the personal lives and private affairs of their followers. They relegate to themselves "absolute authority" by which they require explicit and complete submission to themselves and their down-line of leadership appointees.
Klaus Pesch has never been ordained as a minister by any organisation, has never trained in bible school and has never held a position in a church, yet he demands and expects complete and unquestioning obedience in all matters spiritual from his followers, and his experience in life and interpretation of scripture is considered incontrovertible. He is a self made, self proclaimed prophet of supposed international standing yet lacks recognition of any kind from any credible organization.
He and his wife (now deceased) as fourth generation Christians claimed an accumulated blessing unmatched by anyone around them with a lineage of kingdom believing ancestors which provides them with a deeper and more profound understanding of the true kingdom of God. They claim that God had blessed them with the true ‘Kingdom Gospel’ and more keys to an understanding of the ‘Mystery of God’ than anyone else. They believe many people have ‘parts’ of the mystery but only they have the most. It is a gospel that the church (Babylon as the Pesch family believe and teach) could never understand or put into practice.
Klaus Pesch claims he is the spiritual ‘King’ of Australia and that his sons are princes. He openly teaches that his mission in life is to raise up the ‘Sons of God’ to inhabit the secret places of the kingdom here on earth, ready to save the church in the times of tribulation as she (the church) flees into the wilderness with the wings of an eagle (Rev11). He and his wife claimed to be heads of the ‘father houses’ and expected everyone to treat them as spiritual ‘Mum & Dad’.
Their children (fifth generation) are supposedly natural successors to their inheritance, born leaders with a similarly unmatched ability to sense the spirit of God (in reality nothing could be further from the truth), and because their youngest son was born after they had achieved literal entry into the kingdom of God here on earth, he was born as a ‘Son of God’ and therefore did not need to work his way closer to God in a 'Sonship' training similar to Daniel in the old testament. Their superior spirituality gives them the right (which they enforce) to dictate and ‘Guide’ (read: interfere with) the decision making process of every family under their covering.
The Pesch family act as the ‘second witness’ to all major and many minor decisions in every family associated with their so called ministry, and this includes: If and when to have children, if and when to buy property, houses etc, all matters relating to employment (self employment only), what schools to send their children to, matters of personal banking, If and when to visit relatives or friends outside of the fellowship, if and when to visit another church, all matters relating to travel anywhere. (Group members are rarely physically stopped from visiting another church but are regularly spiritually and emotionally blackmailed into keeping away from them).
Matters relating to the personal lives of all families within the ‘Team’ are subjected to a high degree of open debate that the Pesch family will indirectly influence the course of, nearly all the decisions that families within the 'Team' make are subject to interference including; diet, styles of clothing and decoration of their homes (photos of parents and relatives are discouraged), preferences in entertainment such as music and TV and political preference for those registered (voting absolutely banned for Pesch family members). This is done to preserve both the holiness of the families concerned and thus the overall holiness and spiritual integrity of the group. All in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and for the benefit and growth of his kingdom here on earth. When decisions are made without the consent of Pesch family members, the disobedience is turned into public humiliation and open rebuke and in some cases shunning by the rest of the group.
The natural (read: preferred and enforced) order of things is that ‘Team’ members are there to serve Klaus Pesch and his family, supporting their ministry and sacrificing their own lives (and finances) to make sure that the Pesch family can live the faith lifestyle that would keep them in the perfect will of God for their lives; and as the Pesch’s children mature in their ministry, group members would in turn serve and support them, and again as their children grew, the children of group members would serve them in their ministry.
The two remaining sons of Klaus Pesch suffer from gross delusions of spiritual superiority as a result of their abusive upbringing; they are incapable of living a normal life without enforcing the same rules and regulations as their parents and they are raising their children to believe that they are similarly blessed and destined for greatness with unparalleled blessings from God as part of a spiritual royal family.
The theologian Richard Hooker - the father of Anglicanism - had something to say about abusive leadership: "They saw that to live by one man's will became the cause of all men's misery."
(Ecclesiastical Polity (bk. I, ch. X, 5) Mr Hooker lived from 1553 - 1600 ... and advocated a combination of reason, scripture and tradition (sometimes called the three-legged stool!) as the basis of his community's spiritual life.
For Hooker if a person took upon himself to be "lord or judge over another" without the consent of those whom he was trying to govern then this amounted to "mere tyranny".
A pity we don't have more Richard Hookers today to denounce the tyrannical rule of narcissistic megalomaniacs masquerading as missionaries & ministers in the way that the Pesch family does today.

The youngest "Son of God" was supplied anything and everything that he wished even was given the "choosen one" wife of another team member as his own to bear his "children of God".
The other children the couple had together were taken away with the wife and used as blackmail "objects" to gain utter loyalty and financial support.(a "word" had to be taken to see if it is ok for him to see his own children). More like "has he given me anything in turn to see them and how much".
But a constellation prize the ex husband was allowed to stay on the property and serve Pesch, he was not allowed to go to his children's birthday which was held up at the main dwelling 200 meters away as usual to anything the "word" was taken by Pesch and it "disagreed" with his presence being there.
I fail to see how all this could have been the word or work of God as it states in Deuteronomy 5:21
"You shall not covet your neighbor's wife. You shall not set your desire on your neighbor's house or land, his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor."
Maybe he had a different version of the Original Holy Bible that we dont have.
Stop spreading malicious nonsense about a person you used to work with.
Many of us consider it the biggest mistake we ever made to trust Klaus as a friend and spiritual authority. You haven't reached that conclusion for yourself yet and we hope that eventually you'll have the courage to say enough is enough. Good luck.
Right now the only thing causing a problem is this blog, not the man himself.
Firstly, it seems that the only people complaining about this blog are those who have a vested interest in keeping Klaus and his business activities afloat.
Secondly, there are those of us who have had our kids physically abused by Klaus Pesch, who have had our families split apart by his teachings, who have lost thousands of dollars of our own money through his business ventures, and have then struggled to pull our lives and families back together after the trauma of living under his ministry.
Do you seriously imagine in your wildest dreams that we would care one bit about causing trouble for Klaus? We are all grateful that he is finally getting the public recognition he so richly deserves.
Does Klaus really believe that he can just walk away from all of the damage he has caused elsewhere and start fresh with a new group of people without answering for his past actions?
The real question is Anonymous, how much of your money does he have at the moment?
Unbelievable, whats has the Isle of man got coming to it, i live next door to their so called head quarters "Ballachrink" where John & Jill Evens live Ralph & his wife live too, Nigel Chaplin did own the house left to him by his mother but know i seams they all own it. All i know living next door to them all you never believe a word they say. But reading all the blogs on here yes it is un believable how Klaus who is also a regular visitor can can away with it, but it does not surprise me
Anonymus: Do you actually know any of the people you mentioned above in person?
As a family member of the pesch family I can say that yeh my family has its faults and probably screwed alot of u all over but was ur own stupid fault for gettin involved especially for the length u where invovled with the team. Im not christian and I still know the difference between right and wrong. I personally think this website exists purely on the reason that u figured out that ur all as stupid as each other and just want to pass the blame.... Get a life and move on ya idoits!
