[Vision2020] Gnostic Accountability

[J Ford]

1.  Remember the Inquisition? or the "witch trials"?  How about Waco?  Jonestown? The Space people (sorry, don't remember their name.)  Long list.....
2.  Try talking to the people that Wilson does not approve of and/or that have left the church and are planning or have left town?
3.  No one is saying that Wilson has "Killed" anyone - just their opportunity to live life as they choose in a town they choose when they choose.

I really wish you'd stop being blinded by this guy - for god's sake, what has he ever done for you that you feel this total need to support him no matter what?
