<HTML><BODY STYLE="font:10pt verdana; border:none;"><DIV>J. Ford posts:<BR></DIV> <DIV>"In Doug Wilson's Blog and Mablog listing for 3/3/2005, he states the <BR>following:<BR><BR>'However, there are other aspects of our lives which are to be imitations of <BR>the Father's redemptive love. For example, husbands are to love their wives <BR>as Christ loved the church -- they are to bestow love upon their wives, and <BR>upon no others.'<BR><BR>I guess this does not apply to marriages he does not approve of, especially <BR>if you consider what has happened with Greg Dickison and his Church-FORCED <BR>divorce from his wife who is dealing with mental illness as her only "sin". <BR>Though it does not follow 1 Cor 7, as quoted by Mr. Wilson in previous <BR>Blogs, maybe someone can explain how being bipolar is equal to committing <BR>adultery?"<BR><BR> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Ordinarily, I would not comment on a post like this. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It reveals information about Mrs. Dickison that is private in nature, deeply personal, and, I believe, inappropriate to this forum.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Unless our anonymous poster is Mrs. Dickison herself, I don’t believe that her illness is a suitable topic for public discussion.</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT></o:p></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">If, however, any part of this post is true – if Greg Dickison has A) divorced his wife; B) received Pastor Wilson’s sanction/approval for this divorce; and C) attained this divorce under the conditions described, then I can only marvel at the sheer rage and gall I feel at having been lectured repeatedly on Vision 2020 and elsewhere by Mr. Wilson and Mr. Dickison regarding the sanctity of marriage, the God-damned wickedness of same-sex relationships, and the many ways in which Melynda and I have personally made a mockery of holy matrimony by laying claim both to the word marriage and to the legal consequences thereof.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></FONT></FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT></o:p></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>How dare Greg Dickison?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>How dare Doug Wilson?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Just who do these men think they are?<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>And what, by extension, should we conclude about a theology which would support such hypocrisy, such abuse, and such deep and shameful iniquity?</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><o:p><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3> </FONT></o:p></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Joan Opyr/Auntie Establishment</FONT></P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </P> <P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </P><BR></DIV></BODY></HTML><br clear=all><hr>Get more from the Web.
