<DIV><FONT size=4>Hello! If you are a Christian (as I admittedly am not),
the truth comes not from Douglas Wilson but from the words of Christ as found in
a correct translation of the Bible and (like any other writing) those words
in the Bible having the highest probability as coming from Christ Himself
according to current, competent biblical research.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Apparently the Cultmaster in his usual arrogantly ignorant,
I-am-smarter-than-anyone/anything-else manner has failed to read carefully and
to understand the synoptic gospels and is abysmally uninformed or misinformed
about the current state of biblical research.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>But given his marketing/selling ability and his immense
self-view and self enrichment/self-promulgation goals, it is unlikely that any
significant changes in Wilson's dicta and/or his methods will occur.
Therefore, given the ovine, lack-of-mental-prowess traits of most of his
followers, your urging quoted above is unlikely to be heeded. In fact, we
should expect some ungodly stupid remark from the disconnected Doug Farris
and/or one of the boys in the culthood, who appear to be able to read words,
but only able to connect them to a small portion of the larger
reality.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>PS: J Ford must be really getting close to discovering
something very interesting if those in the cult keep trying to silence
her. I wonder what it is. More child sexual abuse, tax
irregularities, sweetheart business with the chamber, financial losses/poor
investments, adultery among the highly anointed, other lawlessness?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PSS: I wonder if whoever is writing under the metonym for
"I am scared of J Ford" has considered what is going to happen to Doug Jones
when the pinch really starts to choke the cult and its assets
plundered. Hint: Two of the below will have gold in their stockings,
one will have a lump of coal and blame.</DIV>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">I am unceasingly dumfounded
at how kirkers can continue to make veiled and slanderous comments even when
they are continually exposed for what they are. Just this morning I
located another kirk blog linked to my site that revealed yet another misquote.
Dale Cortney still refuses to pull an intentional misquote from my blog that has
now been up for months. This is amazing. After 8 months, and every kirk attack
has been in the form of bald falsehood, nonsensical ridicule, or else strong
critique of strawed-man quotes ripped out of context. Does not anyone at
the Kirk have a rational, argumentative point to be made about the constant and
varied public criticism against them? Outside of the silly “persecution”
ploy?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><FONT face="Courier New" size=2><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Courier New'">As for this quote: this has
become one of the steady anti-pooh mantras that kirkers sooth themselves with.
So please allow me just this one time to quickly and modestly point out the
relevant fact that my readership is as strong as Peter Leithart’s; you might
recall how Wilson boasted about Leithart’s blog in his sermon when
explaining why he was the truly anointed one in Moscow. Apparently, the
kind of “interest” Leithart’s blog gets is evidence for the fact that YHWH will
defend the Kirk against its local enemies; I guess I now have evidence that YHWH
is routing for me too. In sum, I certainly haven’t sent links to Vision
2020 to keep a “needed” readership (putting aside the claims that I have a
mental disorder); I just like local readership more than non-local, given the
common topic of my blog (which, by the way, is only about 40% Kirk stuff these
days). <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
