Gary, you've painted with a toxic and too-wide brush here. It's important that you realize some things that argue against your suspicion that Kirk critics have now banded together under the guise of starting a new church here. You give us too much credit and Jesus too little; we Intoleristas can barely manage to meet for coffee, while Christ has led His church worldwide for two millennia. In discussing the impetus for the formation of a new congregation, not many would confuse the two, and only those with Wilsonian blinders would elevate "Hating Doug Wilson" to such a level of significance. <br><br>Your continued belief that Wilson and his elders and staff are the victims of a cruel and crude campaign of hate puzzles me, but I'm really amazed that you would contend that the origin and purpose of a new church plant here is all about Wilson. I'm not sure which is more disturbing -- that you would believe Wilson is so significant that he's influenced a whole group of people to start a church dedicated to his destruction, or that Christ is so insignificant that a blustering local blowhard could compete with Him as an object of ecclesiastical undertaking. I know next to nothing about Real Life, but I know quite a bit about church planting. Trust me when I say that while opposition to Christ Church's effect on the community and its brutalization of the Gospel message is a noble thing, it's not enough to build or sustain a congregation. <br><br>I'm a proud Intolerista, as defined by Doug Wilson, and I can tell you that none of the people I know who could be called critics of Christ Church, myself included, have anything whatsoever to do with Real Life. Further, most of the Kirk critics I've talked to are less than thrilled with RL's manner of introducing themselves to Moscow and are a little concerned that its presence here will be "more of the same" -- whether real bigotry, such as we've all seen with Christ Church, or just plain ol' conservative Christianity, which they believe they've seen elsewhere. As an evangelical, I'm always glad when the Gospel is preached and lived out in my community; as a follower of Christ, I'm always grieved that I see so little of it. But I'm praying for Real Life and its ministry here, and whatever dislike I have for church growth statistics and slick marketing is tempered by my gratitude for another evangelical voice willing to confront the theological and ecclesiastical mess that Christ Church has produced in our town. I've corresponded with Giselle, and I don't think she deserves to be referred to as an anonymous shill. I have no idea who the Avenger is, or who it is who posts that Calvinists are hellbound heretics, and I don't plan to attend any Real Life services. But I do believe that the Spirit-led believer who honestly explores the Scriptures and plumbs the depths of her conscience would feel compelled to speak out against the Kirk -- and not because of Doug Wilson, Gary, but because of Jesus. "Because of Jesus" is what motivates Christians to do the right thing, and if Doug Wilson comes into the picture, it's only because of the stunning clarity of the difference between the two.<br><br>keely<br><br><blockquote><hr>From: jampot@roadrunner.com<br>To: christs.avengers.bowness.alta@gmail.com; vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Tue, 9 Oct 2007 17:58:47 -0700<br>CC: askreallife@reallifeministries.com<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] A Caution<br><br>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">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.</font></div>

Giselle McCourt and the brothers and sisters at Real Life Ministries are

<br><br><br>Amen!<br><br>Giselle's thoughts on this are much appreciated, and
I sincerely hope they touch the hearts of those who have been shattered by
"pastors" who would usurp the autonomy of the believer in her/his relationship
with Jesus Christ. The Gospel is a message of reconciliation,
liberation, grace, forgiveness, unbridled love and humility. It is not a
means by which to insinuate oneself into the lives and consciences of
others. And while community and fellowship are vital for the spiritual
health of the believer, the intimate relationship of a man or woman to his or
her Savior is the province of their Spirit-informed conscience, not a tool to
further the controlling, aggressive and manipulative agenda of anyone who sees
himself as the top rung of a hierarchy the Gospel intends to
dismantle.<br><br>If I were confronted with the message and behavior of the
leadership at Christ Church and didn't know Jesus Christ, I would run away as
fast as I could. It's not a picture of a savior I'd want to have
anything to do with. But I do know Jesus, and so I choose to stand
toe-to-toe in opposition to anyone who would pervert the Gospel and
misrepresent the One to whom I owe my very heart and soul. I'm
grateful for Giselle's voice and pray it will reach those who've been hurt by
the tsunami of bigotry and pride that is Kirk
leadership.<br><br>keely<br><br><br><br><br><br>

<p class="EC_EC_MsoNormal" style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">This short
message is addressed to those of you from other area churches who attended
the Launch Service of Real Life Ministries last Sunday and to those that
might like to attend further services in order to see if Real Ministries
could become the church of your choice.</p>
<p class="EC_EC_MsoNormal" style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">There are
certain pastors in this area who look upon their congregations as their
personal property.<span> </span>They covetously regard members of
their congregations as chattel to be used as they decree rather than as
souls to be lovingly guided into the arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and into
the way of righteousness, goodwill, and eternal salvation.</p>
<p class="EC_EC_MsoNormal" style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">These
unholy pastors often resort to dire and to unchristian measures to either
persuade or to force members to remain shackled in the ungodly, grasping
jaws of their spurious ministries.<span> </span>Hence, I repeat the
following from my first message (also appended).<span> </span><b>(If

between you and God, only.<span> </span>You do not need to ask or
receive anyone's permission to change Christian churches, nor do you owe
anyone notice or an explanation if you do.<span> </span>It is a
decision between you and God alone.<span> </span>If your pastor or
members of your church attempt to coerce or to wheedle you in any way to
remain in the grasp of their church – persistent pressure, guilt, promises,
visits, telephone calls, threats, spying, extortive tactics, feigned
sweetness, feigned concern for your soul, etc, – you are not in a church
which preaches the True Teachings of The Lord Jesus Christ and who sincerely
loves The Lord Jesus Christ.<span> </span>If any of the above

<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><b>Dear Neighbors and Friends
in Our Lord Jesus Christ,</b></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><b>Please pass this message on
to anyone it might benefit.</b></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><b><i>Regardless of the church
you now attend</i></b>, for the sake of your own eternal salvation in Our
Lord Jesus Christ, please take some time to consider very carefully in your
heart of hearts the following questions. <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor unite the
community or does your pastor divide it? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor respect
everyone equally or does your pastor have favorites amongst your
congregation? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor disdain or
ignore the worth of any or many of God's children? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor display way
too much self-love? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Is your pastor much too fond
of rich foods, fine wines, and other voluptuary pleasures? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Is your pastor ever
vindictive, spiteful, punitive, or dishonest especially towards those with
whom your pastor disagrees or those who have chosen in God's name to leave
the clutches of his ministry? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Would you trust your pastor
with your purse?<span> </span>With your real estate agent?<span>
</span>With your wife? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor hold wacko
ideas like the antebellum slaves were a happy lot and lived in wonderful
harmony with their masters? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">At your pastor's rigid
insistence is your church music full of dark, chilling, mournful words and
music rather than raising a "Joyful noise unto the Lord" as commanded by the
bible?<span> </span><span> </span>Psalms 100 <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Has your pastor engineered the
purchase land for a new church that is not only too small for a church and
cemetery, but even too small for a moderately sized church?<span>
</span>Did your pastor pay about twice the market value for the
land?<span> </span>Is that land now known as "------'s Folly?"
<br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor demand,
coerce, or wheedle so much tithe that it hurts your ability to give what
they need and they deserve to your family and community?<span>
</span>Have you been asked to sacrifice heavily and to tithe in God's name
so that your pastor can pursue his ambitious, mostly personal goals?
<br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor's money
management problems and love of his pet projects that serve him more than
God often lead to calls for further tithing and sacrifices?<span>
</span>Does your pastor try to con and to manipulate you by insinuating that
the amount of your tithe is directly proportional to your love of Our Lord
Jesus Christ, champion of the poor?<span> </span>Matthew 19:16 - 30,
Matthew 25:31 - 46 <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor pack the
various parts of his ministry's payroll with overpaid relatives and
kowtowing friends and their relatives, thus putting even more stress on
church finances and leading to further demands for tithes? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor look at new
members more as a source of tithes and straw and mud with which to build his
empire, rather than as souls to guide into the loving arms of Our Lord Jesus
Christ? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your church have a hidden
missing funds problem? If so, is it possible that some of those funds
have disappeared into off-shore accounts of which your pastor is the sole
signatory? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor flout the
civil law?<span> </span>Romans 13:1 – 7 <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor ever direct
members of your church to perform illegal or sinful activities or to ignore
illegal or sinful activities done by church members? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor ever practice
flagrant dishonesty in the name of The Lord or in claiming to do the work of
The Lord?<span> </span>Is this something Jesus would do? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Are your pastor's theological
views so far out that were recently rejected by over 96% of a very large
body of his fellow Reformed Disciples that carefully examined them? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">When vehemently defending his
version of The Word of God as the only "correct one," does your pastor
sometimes appear to be mentally disturbed? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Is your pastor more interested
in enriching himself and his family then your pastor is in exhibiting
himself as shining, living example of the Life and Teachings of Jesus
Christ, especially doing this by showing agape towards all, showing
humility, showing disdain for wealth and its trappings, and showing great
concern and charity for all the poor and unfortunate?<span>
</span>Matthew 19:16 - 30 <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor have a double
standard when it comes to adultery?<span> </span>When it comes to rape
and adultery in church schools? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Has your pastor encouraged
divorces when it would benefit him in a very personal way, or encouraged
divorces with unchristian vindictiveness to inflict great pain and sorrow
upon certain critics of his actions and claimed beliefs? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor ever appear
to place himself on an equal footing or above God? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor place himself
as a barrier between you and God? Does your pastor blasphemously style
himself/herself as a necessary conduit between you and God?<br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor blame others
for his shortcomings? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">After having made a serious
mistake in judgment does your pastor own up to it, or does your pastor
sometimes claim he/she has a secret plan and the congregation must "trust"
him/her that eventually all will be right? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor keep
important church information secret from not only the congregation, but from
some of the elders and deacons too? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor unchristianly
operate your church like a secret society in the community rather than like
the open arms of Our Lord Jesus Christ? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Has your pastor imported child
molesters into the community?<span> </span>If so, is it possible that
your pastor knew something of their particular sinful proclivities
beforehand, but imported them anyway? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Has your pastor written a
letter supporting leniency for a convicted child molester, one who did
dreadful, despicable things to many different children, who attended one of
the ministry's schools, and one who defiled the children of the church
family with whom he boarded?<span> </span>If so, was that letter
hypocritically contrary to your pastor's past preaching, and most important,
blasphemously contrary to the requirements of The Word of God? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your business or
relationships with your neighbors suffer because your pastor has – with his
outré views, unchristian actions, and harsh, in your face, unchristian
polemics – caused many of the community to shun your business or avoid
yourself and your family? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor use divisive
tactics and polemics to persuade you from listening to the words of your
neighbors and dividing you from them? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does the majority of your
community regard your pastor as a crook, clown, or perhaps even an
anti-Christ? <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor ever bring to
mind the following passage from Matthew 7:15 - 20?<span>
</span><br></p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: times new roman,serif;">15 Beware
of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are
ravenous wolves.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: times new roman,serif;">16 You
will know them by their fruits.<span> </span>Are grapes gathered from
thorns, or figs from thistles?</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: times new roman,serif;">17 In the
same way, every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad
fruit.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: times new roman,serif;">18 A good
tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.</p>
<p style="text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: times new roman,serif;">19 Every
tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.</p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">
20 Thus you will know them by their fruits.<br> </p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor make up
insulting, abusive names for those that question his bizarre views and
actions?<span> </span>Does your pastor belittle his critics and
assassinate their characters or take other vindictive, punitive measures
rather than act like Our Loving Lord Jesus would?<span> </span>Matthew
5:38 - 48 <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">Does your pastor attempt to
coerce and to wheedle your continuing church membership rather than trust in
your faith in God and God-given conscience to guide you to make the right
choice of church to attend?*** <br></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"> </p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;"><b>Does any answer to any of
the above questions about your pastor trouble you?</b><span>
</span>Does any answer trouble you especially considered in the light of the
Teachings of The Lord Jesus Christ and your God-given
conscience?<span> </span>If so, then perhaps it is time for the sake
of your immortal soul to consider moving to a true church of Our Lord Jesus
Christ in God, and away from a church that will only lead you away from the
path of righteousness, goodwill, and eternal salvation.</p>

permission to change Christian churches, nor do you owe anyone notice or an
explanation if you do.<span> </span>It is a decision between you and
God alone.<span> </span>If your pastor or members of your church
attempt to coerce or to wheedle you in any way to remain in the grasp of
their church – persistent pressure, guilt, promises, visits, telephone
calls, threats, spying, extortive tactics, feigned sweetness, feigned
concern for your soul, etc, – you are not in a church which preaches the
True Teachings of The Lord Jesus Christ and who sincerely loves The Lord
Jesus Christ.<span> </span>If any of the above unchristian tactics has
been applied or is applied to you please let the good folks at Real Life
Ministries know:<span> </span><a href="mailto:askreallife@reallifeministries.com?subject=Ask%20Real%20Life">askreallife@reallifeministries.com</a></p> <br> <br> <br><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">This message has neither been
