[Vision2020] Time for Community Dishonesty

Thu Jun 23 21:30:06 PDT 2005

Debating with Donovan on this is about as fruitful as getting an NSA student 
to drink Keystone Lite, but I would like to point out what is, I think, 
obvious to virtually everyone else:

Rose Huskey and Saundra Lund don't have "followers."

Now, it's true that Saundra and Rose have friends.  They also have people 
who, while not knowing them personally, nonetheless find themselves admiring 
their efforts.  And, of course, they have family members who are disposed to 
acknowledge them publicly.  The same can be said of anyone who takes a 
stand, behaves with courage, and seeks justice.  While it would be great if 
people who evince unusually high levels of humility, integrity, and 
intellect did indeed command a following, the evidence locally and 
nationally appears not to confirm that.

Friend of Rose and Saundra, follower of Christ, and not at all confused

More dishonesty?

Rose Huskey and Saundra Lund disagree with the
political and religious opinions of Doug Wilson, as do
most people, but they are taking it a step further by
seeking to destroy him and any organization associated
with him by using lawyers to bankrupt him.

The truth is explained by Joan Opyr (daughter-in-law
of Rose Huskey)in her article in the online magazine
New West Network,  Church vs. Town: Secularists and
Theocrats Battle in Moscow,

“Huskey and Lund say that they believe a key component
in interrupting what they describe as the bigotry and
hatred preached by Doug Wilson is to focus attention
on the financial aspects of Christ Church”

http://www.newwest.net/index.php/topic/article/685/C84/L40

It does not sound to me like Rose is looking to “have
a public dialogue about the real issues dividing our
community,” as she likes to proclaim.

Why not just be honest? They should just say they want
Doug Wilson out of town and are going to do it anyway
they can without landing themselves in jail. Most of
their followers would admittedly be all in favor of
stripping anyone associated with Christ Church of any
first amendment rights in this community.
