expression of conservative Christianity that preaches dominance and pays lip
service to love and silent grace; however, the pastor, Doug Wilson, thrives on
national popularity within a splinter denomination and conflict—not local
peace and sociologically healthy integration. There are many good people
still left in <st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Christ</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType

them call <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Christ</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Church</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> an outright “cult.” <st1:City

known for turning on old friends and laymen as soon as they criticize on the

“character assassination” and he has been very successful at it. <st1:City

government of checks and balances, but there really are not checks and balances

offensive to the outside Christian and secular community, such as a form of

prayers, where the Christ Church community calls down literal harm against
local real people who happen to oppose Christ Church. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='font-size:14.0pt'>There is a strange, non-Christian theology and defense
strategy that I call “enemy theology,” wherein any concern or
criticism from the outside, no matter what it is and from where it comes from,
is interpreted as “persecution” and evidence that not only are the
things they are criticized for not wrong but that they are actually very holy
and right. The Princess notes that this is not a simple deductive mechanism –
not always is this a sign of being right – but in practice this is
precisely what it is: criticism functions a priori as evidence for being right
and holy, a prophetic persecuted group. Wilson has developed a “Serrated
Edge” model to justify his insulting and arrogant approach to many
different kinds of people ranging from local neighbors, Thomas Kincaid, a Grayfriar
student, evangelicals, local professors, <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Bill London</st1:PersonName>,
etc. This is where the “cult” concern extends from the
sociological to the theological: this is a clear defensive, and ad hoc twisting
of scripture; the “serrated edge” in the New Testament was never to
dehumanize and merely insult the opponent as an act of “war” but
was rather dignified pronouncements of judgment against those who sat in Moses’
seat, those in places of religious authority and power that used that power to
belittle “outsiders” and oppress insiders. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Wilson</st1:place></st1:City> is really the only person on the
Palouse, according to standards of scripture, that currently deserves something
like the serrated edge.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

contributor to Credenda Agenda. After the above realizations become firm
enough in my mind, I began questioning and challenging. The response I received
from Wilson, Jones, Nate, and others caused me to move into a more public
setting: character assassination had already set in against me in mild forms
and the message was clear that I either shut up or prepare for a nasty
fight. I started a web site to track this experience, which you can find
here: <a href="http://www.poohsthink.com/">www.poohsthink.com</a> .
I have been kicked out of Christ Church, shunned by many (e.g. my daughter is
not allowed to play with two of her best friends), and the elders are currently
making me out to be an insane, bitter, evil man who is as perverse as a child
molester in order to steer kirkers away from my website and the evidence and
arguments contained therein. As with all the other kirkers who have left
and received this kind of treatment, I must say that I am glad to be out –
although this has been a very gruesome and hurtful exercise.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

"right on target." But it is a fact that Jesus says to us in John 15,
"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If
ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of
the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth
you. Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than
his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they
have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. But all these things will they
do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me."<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
