I<http://federal-vision.blogspot.com/2007/11/anonymity-part-i.html>

Please meet Patrick Poole, a man of whom Douglas Wilson
said<http://greenbaggins.wordpress.com/2007/06/13/the-triumph-of-the-gospel/#comment-15984>,
"I have known Mr. Poole to act with integrity in the past," and who is a
friend of mine. I know Pat well enough to guess that he probably does not
want to get dragged back into Kult Kombat, but I must invoke his testimony
(for a short period) as my first witness for the reason why I conceal my
identity.

In February 2006, Patrick posted a couple of hard-hitting essays critical of
Doug Wilson and the CREC on his blog, and less than a week later he uploaded
this post, which he has since removed. Nevertheless, his testimony stands:

*Kutting My Losses on the Kirk Kult*
The time has come for me to cry uncle. I must say *"no mas"* to the
Wilsonistas. They have won. At this point in time, I cannot continue to
endure the Wilsonistas harassment *jihad* that has now spread to my friends,
my clients, and my church in the wake of my posts over the past week. Some
are also trolling for dirt on me for what I can only assume would be the
basis for *ad hominem* attacks to avoid answering the very direct questions
I've put to the Great Leader. In the final analysis, there are just simply
too many Wilsonistas starting fires for me to possibly contemplate putting
them all out. I must call it quits and admit defeat before they try to burn
down everything around me. I must confess that I greatly underestimated how
quickly they have acted. I guess what I wrote hit too close to home.

Could it be that this harassment *jihad* launched by Doug Wilson's
apologists and lackeys against me is entirely unorganized and is in no way
connected to the Sultan of Subjectivity? That very well might be the case. I
certainly don't have any iron-clad evidence that it is an orchestrated
effort. But if that's the case, there is certainly a culture of venom and
malice that has been allowed to flourish around the Kirk Kult, with the use
of destructive and unchristian methods nourished and justified by the
writings and sermons of the Bhagwan himself under the guise of "Trinitarian
skylarking" and "the serrated edge." Honestly, the harassment would be more
tolerable if the Wilsonistas were in reality as funny or as witty as they
believe themselves to be (but aren't).

In retrospect, the fault is entirely my own. I knew what I was getting into.
I thrust my hand into the viper's nest and got bit. Shame on me. As Blind
Willy Johnson used to sing, "Nobody's Fault But Mine."

But what the Wilsonistas won't admit is that IT IS a viper's nest that they
are a part of. The politics of personal destruction I've encountered (and my
friends and associates have experienced for the crime of being associated
with me) at the hands of the Kirk Kult in recent days is standard practice
for the Wilsonistas and their Great Leader. Just ask Terry Morin, who dared
speak out and had his company suffer at the hands of the Wilsonistas because
of it. But even more important than any financial repercussions was the
deliberate damage done to Terry's reputation by the false witness and
trumped-up charges filed against him by Doug Wilson and the elders of Kirk
Kult, charges that were only withdrawn only because the Great Leader's
documents were shown to be forgeries on the unanimous testimony of everyone
else involved. Thankfully, Terry had his church to examine Wilson's lies and
clear his name. Others that have tried to escape the Kirk orbit have not
been so lucky.

I realize that any pain and suffering I might have endured at the hands of
the Wilsonistas during this very brief affair is minimal compared to what
others have experienced. I know; I've heard from many of the Wilson-wounded
over the past week. I suspect why so many of the "fellowship of the
grievance" <http://dougsplotch.com/images/fog.htm> have gravitated to me is
because I expressed in my two posts from two thousand miles away what they
have had to live through in real life day to day. They maybe believed that I
identified with them because I was willing to say publicly that the drug
dens at New St. Andrews, the illegal Kirk elder-approved
casinos<http://dougsplotch.com/>and the documented payoffs involved,
which are just a normal part of the
landscape of WilsonWorld, is a demonstration of a thoroughly corrupt culture
— all of which is lost on the Wilsonistas and the Wilson apologists. It's
clear that they don't care. Having been in the PCA for almost 15 years, I
can't remember a single instance of a troubled church having these kinds of
problems, which seem to be so commonplace in the Kirk.

In closing, I appreciate that I've been warmly welcomed in as a member of
the "fellowship of the grievance." It is a badge of honor. These are kind
and sincere Christian people, and I feel like I'm abandoning them to the
furies of the Wilsonistas by my rapid retreat, perhaps even encouraging
further abuse. They will be the one's left to clean up the shattered lives
when the Kirk Kult reaches its inevitable end. When that day comes, I
suspect that they will exhibit extraordinary grace and charity, never once
thinking to say, "I told you so." May God bless them for continuing to bear
up.

With that said, this will be my last post on the matter.
POSTED BY PATRICK POOLE AT 6:49 PM 1 COMMENTS


A local columnist wrote a follow-up article to Patrick's piece, which you
can read here<http://www.newwest.net/main/article/the_pasha_of_the_palouse_snuffs_out_another_candle/>,
and please notice Douglas Wilson's comment; he wrote: "Joan, could you help
me out here? Who is Patrick Poole? I am a little behind the curve." Of
course, Wilson was lying because the only thing that happened between that
comment, dated February 26, 2006, and this
comment<http://greenbaggins.wordpress.com/2007/06/13/the-triumph-of-the-gospel/#comment-15984>,
dated June 15, 2007, is the passing of time. In fact, Patrick nailed Wilson
several more times from another blog <http://poohsthink.com/?p=214> (which I
commend only as far as it comments on Wilson, Moscow, and the CREC).

So at one time Wilson pretends he has no knowledge of Patrick Poole, and at
another he declares him a man of integrity. Patrick, however, is not a man
easily flattered. He replied to Wilson's sweet talk with this
comment<http://greenbaggins.wordpress.com/2007/06/13/the-triumph-of-the-gospel/#comment-16166>.
I for one am thankful for Patrick's integrity.

In Part II I will provide more testimony from *local* witnesses whom Wilson
and his goons attempted to silence through bullying harassment. It's just
more of the same, only the names are different. But the lesson I would have
you learn from Patrick Poole's testimony is that if you want to criticize
Wilson in public, you better not give him any handles such as your name.
Witness Patrick Poole. After all, Douglas Wilson says that he is a man of
integrity.

Thank you.

*POST SCRIPT:* Very shortly I will pull Patrick's essay out of respect for
him. I will not drag him back into this; I am sure he's had enough. I post
it because his testimony is compelling.
