Bill -

Do you mean the time that Keely and Doug Wilson discussed imprecatory prayer
on KRFP, where Wilson suggests that his brand of imprecatory prayer is meant
to:

" . . . bring them shame of face where they might seek Your name."

And -

" . . . to transform our enemies into our friends."

Or does Doug Wilson favor a more violent type of imprecatory prayer as
mentioned by "News of Christ Cult" and reflected in Doug Wilson's MaBlog:

"Let their children be orphaned, cut off without a father. Let their wives
be widows, and we pray that their children would be desolate, having to beg
their bread in empty places.

Does Doug Wilson believe in the constructive, show-them-the-light type of
imprecatory prayer or the more violent imprecatory prayer?  Or does it
depend upon to whom he is addressing?

Keely, of course, says it all better than I....
however, I do have one comment on this issue of imprecatory prayer.
When Keely was debating Doug Wilson recently on KRFP, I called and asked
specifically about Doug's use of imprecatory prayer.  He denied that he ever
prayed that people would suffer, as Job had suffered.
His denial is very different from the more recent statements on his website
quoted here earlier....
I wonder which time he was telling the truth...BL
