<DIV><FONT size=2>The very curious article immediately below raises some
interesting questions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>New Saint Andrews is part of the Christ Church Cult. Why
are they holding their convocation at the Church of the Nazarene?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Because, despite all the pomp and ballyhoo of their
self-promoting cultmaster/parson, Douglas Wilson, the cult doesn't even have its
own church building! They "worship" in a grade school gymnasium and have
for many years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><A

<DIV><FONT size=2>Here's the interesting part: The Evangelical Free Church
of Pullman is in the final stages of building a new worship center on Airport
Road. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>A number of the hierarchy of this church used to be associated
with Wilson but long ago firmly disassociated themselves from him over
well-grounded concerns about Wilson's honesty, egomania, megalomania, crackpot
Calvinistic theology, and his suitability to even be a messenger for
Christ. They will soon have their own church while Wilson's cult
uncomfortably sit commanded to attention in a gymnasium with its various
miasmas.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>But what has happened to the millions that Wilson has
raised? Has most of it been spent building an self-monumenting empire and
spending funds whose purpose seems to be the glorification and
self-aggrandizement of Wilson himself instead of building a church in which to
worship Christ?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The only progress toward building a church the cult has made
has been to buy a lot at almost three times its market value; an irregular lot
with several restrictions that will hardly hold a church of any great
size, let alone the needed parking.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>If one reads the traffic over the internet now, Wilson's
grand self-promoting/worshiping plan seems to be failing. He has become,
especially since the release of the film of he and Hitchens, a figure of some
very clever and amusing ridicule. Even some of his former allies now
think his views as expressed, for example, in his Federal Vision
writings are really over the top. His other views have also lost
favor among former and shortly to be former followers. Would-be
followers/allies have also began to remark more often and more pointedly
about Wilson's focus on himself rather than on the proper object of
Christianity.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What used to be the Trinity Festival is now a pathetic joke of
a conference with no outside speakers, and with dim-bulb Wilson son-in-law
Bennie Merkle as the headline speaker. Can you imagine paying money to
listen to Merkle (except for its bizarre entertainment value)? How far the
once self-regarded as mighty have fallen!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>And why does Wilson blog articles advocating
extreme right-wing politics which not only alienates more of his followers but
appears to violate the nonprofit tax exemption the cult enjoys at our
expense? Does he see the local tea-baggers as his last hope to build his
sagging cult membership?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am not a believer, but even I can see the difference between
the sincerity and purpose of the Evangelical Free Church of Pullman and
their worship community piously and with great self-sacrifice building their own
church while Wilson and his cult, some of whom continue to fawn on the
cultmaster instead of Christ, pretend to be Christians despite their
Calvinism and obviously without enough love of Christ to build a
church to worship in.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Doesn't this make Wilson a flimflamer as a religious messenger
and certainly a glaring failure with regard to having a church after all these
years and all the money spent? A number of his former and soon to be
former followers seem to think so.</FONT></DIV>
