I suspect I'll regret this but the questions beg being asked. How does
"Daddy Dougie" cause poor put upon poo bear to go out of business? Is it
only his evil minions who have their homes painted? Do only kirkers live in
the homes he builds? Does Pastor Wilson somehow exert as fiendish form of
mind control over the rest of Latah county's population? (He certainly has
taken over yours, judging by the ridicules amount of time you devote to him
and his.) Do you really have any clue as to Michael's business status or are
you leaping to conclusions based on scant information and fevered
imagination?

>>Austin,
>>
>>Doug Farris' little snippet of humor referred to the IBTA decision
>>stemming from Rose Huskey and Saundra Lund's complaint regarding tax
>>exemption, not from Don Huskey's complaint about boarding houses. Big
>>difference. Huge one, in fact. You might want to take a step back and
>>re-read her post. Then, if you'd like some more history, I'd be happy to
>>meet with you.
>>
>>As far as walking a mile in Doug Farris' shoes to understand the source of
>>his vitriol, I'll decline. Not because I'm not an empathic person -- I'd
>>like to think I am -- but because that would indicate that the original
>>taxation complaint was a personal slam against Kirkers, Doug and yourself
>>included. It wasn't. It's not personal, it's legal, Austin. Christ
>>Church has been the focus of legitimate complaints regarding taxation, its
>>NSA presence downtown, and illegal boarding houses throughout Moscow. No
>>other church has because no other church offends in those ways -- even,
>>maybe especially, those Biblically conservative churches whose theology
>>has the same doctrinal roots as yours. In addition, Moscow has been
>>treated to a smorgasbord of other activities, some illegal (gambling
>>casinos) and some merely offensive in their bigotry, stupidity, and
>>arrogance (time doesn't allow me to enumerate these) that Kirk elders have
>>been linked to. You might be too young to remember that while the elders
>>evidently were disgusted by the casinos, for example, their subsequent
>>behavior in handling the mess was at least as immoral as that of the
>>future men who ran the thing. And the staggering quantity and quality of
>>bad behavior and arrogant pronouncements your elders and pastor have
>>demonstrated in the public square is both mind-boggling and heart-rending
>>to a lot of us.
>>
>>But, of course, you don't believe me. Why would you? The Intoleristas
>>you've been told to hold in such disdain are just a rag-tag group of
>>hellbound malcontents, right? I mean, there couldn't be any merit to our
>>objections -- it's just personal, an objection of the saints being
>>persecuted for righteousness.
>>
>>So here's an idea, if you're mature enough in your faith to give it a try.
>>Why not, while still remaining kind and charitable, simply put away for a
>>time the personal elements of this situation -- set aside the cries of
>>persecution from your community and put up on a shelf your animus toward
>>mine -- and then do something truly radical: Look at the facts. Check
>>your Bible and see if your theology squares. See how Doug Wilson, never
>>mind Doug Farris, matches up to the great saints of the New Testament
>>church. Read court documents. Read a magazine that doesn't come from
>>Canon Press. Talk to people from outside of the church -- those who were
>>in and left and those who never have been Kirkers. Pray, and be willing
>>to hear the answer. Ask hard questions -- of yourself, your parents, your
>>elders, your co-congregants, and your pastor. (I have no fear at all of
>>disagreeing with my pastor, Austin. Can you say that about yours?). Be
>>willing to hear those answers and act on them. Ask yourself what I asked
>>a young NSA'er a few months ago: If you were a pastor, would you do and
>>say and write the things Doug Wilson has over the last few years?
>>
>>If, as I suspect, the answer to that one is "no," then I'd ask you why in
>>the world you trust the nurture of your soul to a man whose conduct you
>>can't possibly find admirable, can't possibly want to emulate, and can't
>>possibly remind you of the Christ you serve.
>>
>>And then, if you ever want to meet with me, contact me offline. I'll buy
>>the beer.
