[Vision2020] A Caution

[Ralph Nielsen]

But Roger, that is the way Joseph Smith began his new religion. He  
condemned all Christian churches as being false. And look how  
successful his religion became.

As for Christ speaking from Alberta, Canada, an old-timer in my home  
town up Hwy 95 said that when Jesus Christ comes again he will come  
to Alberta. Why? Because Alberta at that time was governed by a  
couple of fundamentalist preachers: William Aberhart and his  
understudy, E.C. Manning. This was during the late 1930s and until  
about 1970. When I was  working at the University of Alberta in 1963  
Premier Manning, who was also his own Attorney-General and Minister  
of Finance, ruled that according to the federal Lord's Day Act of  
1910, all laundromats in Alberta had to be closed on Sundays. This  
was on top of already having just about everything else closed on  
Sundays, including most gas stations, all bowling alleys, cinemas,  
stores, etc. But Jesus still didn't show up, even in Holy Alberta.

I am not opposed to any church soliciting new members, but doing it  
by tearing down another church strikes me as not being a very  
christian way to go about it.

 > Christ requires earthly avengers? And from Canada no less. Kind of  
makes me wonder and NOT in the way that "Giselle" and the "avengers"  
would probably prefer. I'd love to hear from a real representative of  
"the fastest growing church in America" and have them explain the  
effectiveness of blowing into town and having anonymous shills  
attempt to tear down their competitors ministries. Is that how you've  
managed to grow at such a prodigious rate? Or, as is far more likely  
to be the case, do we have some of the same old, same old trying yet  
again to duplicitously further their little agenda. I'm guessing the  
latter. Do you guys really think that coming up with endless  
pseudonyms and fictitious organizations is fooling anyone? sadly, I  
guess you must.

Idaho, to wit, Douglas Wilson.
