The closest example I can think that is a close kin to this kind of
Spirit killing, un-inviting, get-outta-here-God kinda action is when
someone in the *flesh* gives an interpretation to a *tongue* and is
nowhere even close to the message God was wanting to give.  I've seen
it happen a couple of times and it *instantly* quenched the Spirit.
Like taking a thumb and thrusting it into a big dough ball that's 
risen much, after being mixed, by flattening it out and forcing the gas
(the Spirit) from the bread (body of believers).  The remainder of
the service was dead, dead, dead.  Almost worse than the beginning
because *God* left in a hurry ... and everybody knew it.

Such is the same exact thang I'm talking about.  God's there one moment
moving in a marvelous way.... then something goes directly against the
Spirit (by a leader or someone doing a really stupid thing in the flesh)
then God's presence lifts from the building.  Probably hurts His feelings.

I know if I was God, and I wanted my leader to do a certain thing -or-
go a certain way, etc. and they don't ... I wouldn't hang around either.
