"Actually,  Doug Wilson informed us at a Head of Household Meeting that he thought  the movie did a good job at fairly presenting both sides; Wilson went  further to say that some of it was even informative for him, presenting  some actors or scenes that he was not aware of.  After that public  statement, however, it’s viewing was never promoted to my recollection.  (recall that Wilson has  sought to put an end to Vision2020 and Daily News)" M. Metzler
  
  Do you have an evidence of this, or are we to take your account as the one and only truth?
  
    "Me:
      I  think this is a very inaccurate and unhealthy social analysis (and in  fact not very good theology for a Catholic if you ask me); this is  particularly the case with respect to those who have been ‘in’ the  group under consideration.  Ironically, I just posted an analysis  of the vulnerability that all social institutionalization can bring;  how much more so for groups like CC:"
  
 I think it is unhealthy  and bad practice to mix your friends, religion, politics and job all  into one group of people. Talk about setting yourself up. Most  Catholics I know, and there are many, do not behave this way.

  Participation in an interview and agreement with the content of the  entire film is not the same thing. Nor would I watch a movie tha! t is  intentionally biased under the pretense it was fair and balanced  information. 
     
    Me:

  Donovan:
  Humm, I don't know, maybe make new friends, call the yellow pages and  get business because you advertise and provide a service or good worthy  of purchasing? There are 31,000 other people in Latah in which to  business outside of Christ    Church.  Wilson does not  h! ave the ability to take away persons relationship with God except  themselves. 
    Wilson  only has the power you and others give him.
     
    Me:
    I  think this is a very inaccurate and unhealthy social analysis (and in  fact not very good theology for a Catholic if you ask me); this is  particularly the case with respect to those who have been &#8216;in&#8217; the  group under consideration.  Ironically, I just posted an analysis  of the vulnerability that all social institutionalization can bring;  how much more so for groups like CC: http://www.poohsthink.com/index.asp?Action=Anchor&CategoryID=1&BlogID=192
     
    I&#8217;m finding it ironic that Wilson  is defended in terms of extreme libertarianism, while those who have  general concerns for social justice are the ones criticized for daring  to even mention the &#8216;private&#8217; business of others.  But others on  this list have already made some good points to this, so I&#8217;ll leave it  at that.
     
    Thanks
