[Vision2020] Edna's questions about the Morecraft letter

[Captain Kirker]

Dear Edna,

Welcome to Kool-Aid country; you’ve landed in Doug Jonestown, home of the 
Branch Dougidians. As an authorized spokesman for Douglas Wilson, I will 
answer the questions you posed on Saturday.

First, Doug wants everyone to know that when the RPCUS declared him a 
heretic on June 22, 2002, they also called on his puppet denomination (the 
CRE) to “institute judicial process against” him. They passed this 
resolution because they (the RPCUS) did not have standing to try him. But 
their jurisdictional limitation did not remove his heresy; it simply 
obligated the CRE to hold him responsible, which of course they would never 
do.

Second, Doug wants everyone to know that on April 3, 2002, a presbytery in 
the Orthodox Presbyterian Church also passed a resolution against him. This 
declaration warned the Church of “some grave dangers with the practices of 
Douglas Wilson and Christ Church.” That’s two resolutions from two 
denominations in less than three months. One addressed his doctrine, the 
other his ethics. By medieval standards he’s a “pestilent heretick”; today 
he’s just a “post-modern heretic.”

Third, your comparison to Martin Luther was both faulty and hilarious. When 
Luther withstood the Pope, he also contended for the priesthood of all 
believers, the right of private judgment, and the doctrine of justification 
by faith alone. But if Doug has his way, he will stand Luther on his head, 
establish a Protestant magisterium, and redefine “faith alone.” What’s the 
point? you ask. He’s a neo-Catholic. The Grand Wizard wants to be pope.

The doctrinal issues are too tangled for this discussion, but suffice to say 
that Wilson’s Reformed peers have demolished his position. You can see for 
yourself at the link below. As you read those papers, notice that his 
critics constantly charge him with using faulty logic, playing word games, 
and making false representations. In other words, Doug is a sophist. So 
don’t compare him with Luther or Servetus; he’s more like Jim Jones or David 
Koresh.

Lastly, you asked about the “real issue.” The real issue has nothing to do 
with town-hall meetings, jurisdictions, heresies, or flags. The real issue 
is quite simple: Douglas Wilson will not take responsibility for his 
conduct. Period.

In 1996 he co-wrote a booklet defending the antebellum institution of 
Southern slavery, and today, instead of confessing the truth, he has 
blame-shifted his way through this scandal with a blizzard of lies. He has 
lied so much that there’s no one left to lie to. First he blamed the 
“anonymous flyer”; then he accused the Daily News with lying; then he said 
the book was written against the butchery of 600,000 people in the Civil War 
(funny, my edition doesn’t have that chapter); then he blamed the homosexual 
lobby; and now he claims that he is a “victim of abuse.” He even cried to 
the governor. WHHHHHAAAAAAA! In the meantime he secretly pulled SSAIW off 
the shelf without explanation.

But Douglas Wilson never said, “I invited the Daily News into my living room 
and smiled for the camera as I discussed the biblical merits of Southern 
slavery. I now realize that my book is offensive to mankind because it is 
historically inaccurate and biblically untenable. I am completely 
responsible for this gross mistake and I ask you to forgive me.”

No, Doug poked everyone in the eye, and then pitched a fit. And that’s 
because Douglas Wilson is a hypocrite.

Cordially,

Captain Kirker


PS: The next time you need a Christ Church response, direct your question to 
Doug Jones. That way you won’t have to leave your keyboard, and we won’t be 
bothered with your childish pranks.
