I first became aware of Dominionism in 2012 when they infiltrated the college department where I worked.

They brought in a strange guy from Abilene Christian as department head - a guy with no credentials for the job. He quickly identified the "suspect" employees, myself included, and started purging the department. Turns out, he ran a Christian staffing company on the side, and replaced the purged people with folks from his agency.

I filed an EEOC against the college. Didn't win, but it mucked up the gears for awhile.

He's still there. I've seen this movement up close and it terrifies me.
