Winger says NO — do not follow your husband to a cult. The Bible never gives husbands spiritual authority to dictate their wife's worship. Wives have a relationship with God independent of their husbands. He also rejects the 'husband as priest of his house' teaching as unbiblical. Uses 1 Peter 3:1-6 extensively.

Key arguments: (1) Addresses the cult's rules first — trousers aren't men's clothing in modern context; gold/braided hair passages are about competitive status display, not banning all makeup/jewelry. (2) 'The Bible never gives husbands this kind of spiritual authority over their wives that they can tell their wives what kind of worship they're supposed to have before God.' (3) 'There is no mediator between you and God except Jesus.' (4) 'The husband is NOT the priest of his house — I think this is an incorrect teaching.' (5) Uses 1 Peter 3:1-6 as the key passage: wife married to unbeliever should have godly conduct to win him 'without a word,' but still serves God first. (6) Submission is not to follow husband into sin — 'the only way she resists his appropriate husband leadership is when she's yielding in submission to God.' (7) Don't leave the house unless extreme abuse — 'this is your chance to show the love of Christ.' (8) 'Wives, you have a relationship with God independent of your husbands.' (9) Notes Acts parallel: apostles told 'don't worship God' responded 'we're still going to worship God.'
