[Vision2020] PLEASE HAMMER, DON'T HURT 'EM

PLEASE HAMMER, DON’T HURT ‘EM
The hammer of the Kirk has fallen

Douglas Wilson, through his agents Doug Jones (Canon Press) and Tom Garfield
(Principal of Logos), has recently decided to sever economic ties with local
Christians as a means of creating a climate of fear and intimidation to 
prevent
criticism.

Recently the wife (Connie Gibbs) of a Canon Press employee (Brian Gibbs)
inadvertently sent an email critical of the Kirk to Doug Jones.   Doug Jones
spoke with the husband and instructed him to reeducate his wife or face
termination from full-time employment at Canon Press.  The husband refused 
to
reeducate his wife and Doug Jones fired him.

Recently a Christian attending a church unaffiliated with Christ Church (The
Evangelical Free Church of Pullman) signed a petition expressing a view 
critical
of Doug Wilson’s opinions on slavery, homosexuals and women’s rights. Tom
Garfield, principal of Logos School (a subsidiary of Faith Ministries, 
Inc.),
unilaterally terminated the business relationship with this Christian (who
supplied printer services to Logos School) without the approval of the Logos
Board.  See the Never Irk the Kirk message.

It is the concern of some that an ecclesiastical precedent of intimidation 
and
control may influence not only the decision making of those who are employed 
or
contract directly or indirectly with Kirk ministries (through economic
sanctions) but may influence the decision making of other members of Christ
Church, by threat of excommunication and censure, who represent the public
sector in the Moscow area.   Bob Hieronymus a member of the Kirk represents 
the
University of Idaho as Director of Communications and Marketing with the
responsibility to protect the Universities reputation and advance the image 
of
the University of Idaho.   Clearly, it is in the best interest of the 
University
of Idaho to distance itself from ideals of slavery, the subjugation of women 
and
anti-homosexuality.  However, Bob Hieronymus is not free of Doug Wilson’s
control.  Bob Hieronymus is subject to Doug Wilson’s excommunication power 
and
knows that Doug Wilson will use it against those who cross him.  I recommend
that area residents call Bob Hieronymus at his University extension (208)
885-6291 and express concerns regarding the independence of his judgment and
recommend that the University of Idaho distance itself from hate.  Finally,
Wilson control extends beyond the University of Idaho to the County level of
government through Kirk excommunication power over a Latah County 
Commissioner
(Paul Kimmell).

The threat of excommunication and termination is real.  The Kirk has trials 
and
excommunicates-terminates frequently.  As Douglas Wilson’s reach expands 
Moscow
should be prepared for the eventuality of intensified control in the public
sector.
