Neon signs from God
There are times when God makes it exceedingly plain that someone claiming to speak for him has gone over a cliff. That then means it's contingent on others to put up a "bridge out" sign so those who can't see don't careen after him.
This blog uses Steven Furtick as the primary example, but it applies to far more than just him.
