<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>Captain Kirker, Other Normal
Folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>Thank you Captain Kirker for continuing to
expose the gross hypocrisy, dishonesty, and the dangerous mental health problems
of Christ Church Cult Master Douglas Wilson.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>It is revealing that the Cult Master
places himself above John Wesley for two reasons:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>1. The Cult Master's own
hypocrisy dwarfs that of Wesley's because he appears to pathologically justify
it to himself and to his ovine, gullish followers under the pseudo-religious
doctrines of Covenantal Dishonesty, Covenantal Plagiarism, and Covenantal
Hypocrisy. Such practices are most charitably described as religious
con-artistry. Such practices are not uncommonly used by others of the Cult
Master's ilk -- megalomaniacal, egomaniacal sufferers from burning self-doubt
trying to constantly reassure themselves.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>2. John Wesley was a
figure of some importance in the development of Protestantism. The Cult
Master will never be. His venomous and/or asinine tracts will eventually
die a yellow death in the rears of some seldom frequented used book stores, as
lining for various kinds of fowl or pet cages, as furniture leg shims, or used
as ballast for soon to be scrapped harbor tugs and barges. References to
his work in other places will be limited to use as examples of ego-driven,
purulent, amateur scholarship gone hopelessly and morally awry; his
works it will be cited either as inane, inept ego-sops or, more accurately,
as cesspool, pseudo-religious scholarship.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>Perhaps, Captain Kirker, after exposing the
Cult Master in part for what he is as an author and thinker, you might now turn
your attention to reporting on the problems of spousal and child abuse in the
cult. Perhaps your reports could help could lead to an inner-cult revolt
and the seeking of help from counselors and law enforcement by the abused wives
and children. It might also lead to some not-so-surprising arrests for
obstruction of justice.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>Judging by some of the high-culties and
cultie tools that he surrounds himself with and the non-culties he so
cleverly uses to pursues his anti-secular, a-kingdom-for-myself goals, the Cult
Master is also a proctologist wanna-be.</FONT></DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref"

size=4>Continuing with our thread devoted to exposing the Wolfman’s hypocrisy,
I would like to review my previous posts to keep this in context. In 1991 the
Wolfman wrote an essay condemning the well-known evangelist John Wesley for a
number of sins, and in 2001 he republished it as an appendix to a book that is
required reading in his Greyfriars Hall ministerial program. We have already
observed that the Wolfman posthumously disqualified Wesley from serving in the
Christian ministry because of his plagiarism and his sloppy academics; and we
have noted with excruciating detail how the Wolfman has done the exact same
thing that he nailed Wesley for, i.e., plagiarism and sloppy
academics.</FONT></SPAN></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><SPAN
style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman'"><FONT face="times new roman" size=4>Now
I want to observe a third category of sin that the Wolfman condemned in John
Wesley, and once again observe how he shares Wesley’s guilt in this matter.
Today we shall consider slander. However, before I proceed, let me make two
comments.</FONT></SPAN></P>

size=4>First, by this point in his essay, the Wolfman felt comfortable enough
with his indictment of Wesley that he no longer argued against him as a
minister. No, he began arguing against his reputed place in Church history.
And second, in his analysis, the Wolfman conflated misrepresentation, libel,
and (perhaps) forgery with slander; while these four may overlap, they are not
necessarily synonymous.</FONT></SPAN></P>

through the mis­leading and slanderous use of ‘witness my hand.’”

graduated with honors from the Dan Rather School of Documentation. When in
doubt, just make it up. But the important point is that, in an effort to smear
Toplady, Wesley fabricated a document out of thin air and attached Toplady’s
name to it, representing that he wrote it.</FONT></SPAN></P>

face="times new roman" size=4>Jumping ahead to 2003, last year the members of
Christ Church learned that in 1993 the Kirk elders tried to remove the Wolfman
from the ministry, and instead of admitting the truth, the Wolfman
manufactured a letter dated December 17, 1993, exonerating himself of
wrongdoing, and he affirmed that the church elders signed this letter when in
fact it bore no signatures at all. Moreover, the Wolfman published this
bald-faced lie—both the contents of the letter and the names of those whom he
said signed it—on the worldwide web. And true to form, the Wolfman kept it on
the web even after he privately admitted its fraudulency. The Wolfman did the
very same thing to one of his fellow ministers that Wesley did to Toplady by
forging his name to a bogus document.</FONT></SP! AN></P>

style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">interpreted? </I>. . . Perhaps, and I
speak with some hesitancy, he spoke this way about Wesley because Wesley was
not honest. The hesitancy comes from the knowledge that those who raise
questions such as this do so at their own peril. If a man calls popular and
universal judgments into question, he had bet­ter be prepared for the
reaction. And part of the preparation consists in knowing that whether you
have proven your case has nothing at all to do with the anticipated
reaction. The saintliness of someone like John Wesley is not something many
Christians are prepared to question. But per­haps is it necessary to
rethink some of our assumptions, i.e. perhaps John Wesley was not quite the
saint he is portrayed to be in popular evangelical histories of that ! era.
. . . This is a plea against distortions of history. . . In this case, I
believe there has been a whitewash of history, and I believe the interests
of truth demand that we all quit playing the game.” (Ibid., 174,
