joan,
why do you keep writing that i am wilson or jones? sorry, honey, but just
because you keep saying it won't make it true. it is now a little after
10am on a sunday morning and guess what? i am not in church. i don't
usually go to church, dear joan, and the more you keep trying to fit a
square peg in a round hole, the more you prove that it's time for you to get
a prescription refill.

>You might remember that, in his debate with Bill London, Douglas Wilson

>not reply to you off list out of a benevolent desire to meet you face to
>face. He replied off list because you caught him in a “false impression”
>when he wrote, “We openly explained our decision in a public meeting almost
>a year ago.” And since Jones’ lie could only lead to more lies, he gave you
>a lateral move to head you off at the pass.

>The so-called “public meeting” was a Christ Church head of household (HOH)
>meeting. Technically these meetings are not closed to the public, but then
>Christ Church has never invited the public or the media to attend them
>either. This particular meeting, however, was especially juicy because on
>March 4, 2003, Doug Jones stood before the HOH and sold his soul to the
>devil. That night he did not commit himself to a whole hill of lies; he
>committed himself to an entire mountain range. However, instead of
>documenting each falsehood, I will shorten this post and highlight only
>one. This example should demonstrate Wilson’s & Jones’ resolve to hold
>their seat of power.
>
>First, some background. In December 1993, the elders of Community
>Evangelical Fellowship (CEF, now called Christ Church) tried to remove
>Douglas Wilson from the ministry. To achieve this, they called a HOH
>meeting where they intended to publicly rebuke him in front of the church.
>(Please note that when the CEF elders caught Douglas Wilson pilfering money
>from the church in 1992, they did not remove him. Rather, they kept it to
>themselves and sternly warned him to keep his fingers out of the till.)
>
>Anyway, during the December 1993 HOH meeting the CEF elders failed to
>remove Wilson — he dodged the bullet and remained in office. But he still
>had one problem. The written record showed that his session of elders tried
>to defrock him, and quite obviously such a record would impede his quest
>for glory among men, forever and ever, amen. Therefore history had to be
>revised, and that right soon.
>
>So for the first few weeks after the failed removal (otherwise known as the
>coup), Wilson asked the elders to sign a letter that would clear him of the
>matter. He even had the temerity to draft such a letter and set it before
>them. Each time, however, without exception, the elders refused. But that
>doesn’t matter. In Wilson’s mind a proposed letter is as good as an
>endorsed letter.
>
>Jumping ahead ten years, the account of Wilson’s coup resurfaced in 2003,
>and in the fullness of time the Christ Church elders designated the March
>4, 2003, HOH meeting as the night for official revision. They appointed
>Doug Jones their point man. And that night he shoveled a pile of manure
>higher than Mt. Everest. It was so high that it would take Auntie E and a
>fleet of Caterpillers three lifetimes to clear it. But since I promised
>that I would park on only one lie, I must press forward.
>
>During the March 2003 HOH meeting, Doug Jones told Christ Church that in
>December 1993 the four CEF elders signed the attached (pdf) letter. Jones
>built his defense around it. He quoted it extensively. He named the men who
>signed it. Never mind that the document bore no signatures. Concern for
>such details is “litigious.” Never mind that he deliberately lied about
>three good men, saying they signed a document which they flatly refused to
>endorse. Only a “madman” would “read a conspiratorial significance into
>those empty activities” (so says the Christ Church website). Never mind
>that the Bible forbids lying. As Wilson or Jones wrote through Kyle the
>Spinner, “i wish people would stop alluding to the bible all the time.” It
>restricts their whizdumb.
>
>Why did Jones lie about the letter? — Because he had to discredit a man
>whom Wilson targeted as an enemy. Remember that in Wilson’s world, there
>are only two kinds of people: subjects and enemies. And all enemies must be
>destroyed (witness “Hammer Time.”)
>
>Not yet satisfied with their fabrication, the Christ Church elders then
>formed a “judicial committee” and picked three clever men to sit on it:
>James Nance, full-time teacher at Logos School; Chris Schlect, full-time
>whatever at NSA; and Doug Jones, full-time liar for Christ Church. And,
>adding sin unto sin, the Christ Church Judicial Committee lied about this
>letter no less than five times in writing. Aggravating their guilt, they
>uploaded their lie to their website, and they kept it up for several
>months. Worse yet, they kept the lie on the web even after they privately
>admitted the letter was illegitimate. This means that, ironically, Jones
>actually told the truth when he wrote, “We posted that explanation for
>months.” Unfortunately, the posted explanation was a colossal lie.
>
>Since then, no Christ Church officer has ever confessed his sin to the
>wronged parties, nor has any officer corrected the record at any of the
>monthly HOH meetings. The Christ Church elders have all been too craven and
>embarrassed to admit they lied through their worldwide teeth. And to this
>day most kirkers still believe Jones’ fabrication. They don’t know any
>better.
>
>Question for Douglas Wilson, Do you have no shame? No sense of decency?
>“Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak
>righteousness. Selah.” (Ps. 52:3.)

>>Visionaries,
>>
>>I'm cc'ing Mr. Jones so that if I misinterpret something he wrote
>>privately,
>>he has the opportunity to correct my errors.
>>
>>I've written onlist before that any private nastygrams I receive in
>>response
>>to V2020 posts I will free to post to V2020. I think that sometimes
>>people
>>respond privately when they have to no purpose other than to spew forth
>>vitriol in the hope of bullying those with whom they disagree into
>>silence.
>>I disagree with that tactic, so I'll not participate in the silence
>>necessary for such tactics to succeed.
>>
>>I feel as though I'm in a bit of a quandary here. It is true that Mr.
>>Jones
>>responded to my questions privately (more on that in another paragraph).
>>And, it was a reasonably pleasant private response (he extended an
>>invitation to meet over a cup of coffee), if his response to my queries
>>wasn't particularly helpful. Thus, I didn't feel it appropriate to post
>>to
>>V2020.
>>
>>I will say, however, that based on Mr. Jones' private email, I don't
>>think
>>we here in V2020-land should hold our breaths awaiting meaningful public
>>participation from Mr. Jones anymore because my perception is that along
>>with his boss Doug Wilson, he no longer finds this forum worthwhile. 'Tis
>>a
>>pity, really, because I for one have learned a great deal (and more than
>>just about Wilson World) from the individuals who make up this forum.
>>
>>In fairness, I do want to say that while I don't think Mr. Jones will
>>participate in meaningful dialogue on V2020, I think there are indications
>>that Wilson and Jones might respond to privately asked questions. We've
>>seen some communication between Bill London and Doug Wilson (which Wilson
>>agreed to have shared with V2020 readers, although I remain confused why
>>Wilson doesn't write to V2020 directly in answer), and Doug Jones thinks
>>he
>>answered my questions.
>>
>>My questions <sigh>. Lest anyone think I'm withholding meaningful
>>answers,
>>let me assure you that I'm *not*. I don't know if Jones was just toying
>>with me or if he truly thinks he answered my questions in a helpful
>>manner.
>>To recap, I asked the following questions in the following order:
>>[with respect to the Christ Church hierarchy's handling of the Morton
>>Street
>>Casino/payoff/Lounge affairs and Jones' assertion of a public meeting to
>>explain Wilson World's handling of the thing]
>>1. Can you provide more information about this public meeting?
>>2. When & where was it held and how was it publicized?
>>3. Did any news reporters attend?
>>[with respect to the removal of the explanation and alleged facts of the
>>affairs from Christ Church's web site]
>>4. Am I correctly understanding that Christ Church's official explanation
>>has now been permanently removed?
>>[with respect to Jones' assertion that an unnamed pastor involved in
>>reviewing Christ Church's handling of the affairs thought the handling was
>>"brilliant"]
>>5. And, what denominational group was that?
>>6. Surely you're not referencing Wilson's CRE (Confederation of Reformed
>>Evangelicals)?
>>7. If so, then isn't saying "One pastor who was part of a denominational
>>group reviewing our handling of this situation said it was a brilliant
>>solution," akin to having the fox watch the hen house???
>>8. If not, why not?
>>
>>Mr. Jones' answers?
>>"yes, no, yes, no, and no"
>>Those are the answers I received privately in their entirety.
>>
>>They are answers to *some* of the questions, but they don't really provide
>>any information, do they? Jones *could* tell us more about the alleged
>>public meeting, but he doesn't.
>>
>>I keep reflecting back on something Melynda Huskey wrote a week or two
>>ago:
>>"Conflict theory teaches that two preconditions have to exist for
>>conflict:
>>competing needs and interdependence. This fight is still simmering because
>>we aren't living together very well and we can't not live together.
>>Neither
>>of those conditions is going to change by itself. . . And conflicts can
>>only
>>be resolved if everybody is present in good faith, willing to listen, to
>>be
>>flexible, to learn from each other. We may not have that good faith with
>>one
>>another--we certainly don't have much trust."
>>(2/23/2004)
>>
>>I don't know how I/we can have that good faith (let alone trust) when one
>>side of this particular conflict has chosen of late to absent itself
>>generally speaking (there are a few exceptions I don't want to be accused
>>of
>>not noticing or appreciating) from all but insults, pseudonyms, and wicked
>>parodies. Mr. Wilson and his minions' voluntary absences except to hurl
>>insults, either publicly or privately, indicates to me that the upper
>>echelons of Christ Church/Wilson World is *not* present in good faith and
>>has no genuine interest in resolving the unrest in any way other than
>>their
>>way.
