<div class=yiv185367020MsoNormal><SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-SIZE: 16pt">Is there ever going to be an end to the trouble and error the elders and deacons of Christ Church bring to the people of our community? When I learned about your newest scam, <I><A href="http://www.ccmbooks.org/?i=14114&mid=1000&id=376911" rel=nofollow target=_blank>The Center for Biblical Counseling</A>,</I> my heart plummeted. What in the name of God, and I mean that literally, leads you to believe that you are qualified to counsel distressed people, or worse, train others – in a three day, forty dollar course - to do so? Your ludicrous claim to <A href="http://www.cbcmoscow.com/contact-us/counseling-in-a-week/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>“training”</A> (your own and the moronic people who will pay forty dollars for it) does not stand up under scrutiny. The damage you will do is <B>incalculable.</B> Clearly, you don’t
give two hoots in hell about the people, their families, and the community that you will harm with your pseudo-counseling. How do you plan to maintain the confidentiality of your clients? It is to be hoped that they will not in the files of Anselm House where any Tom, Doug, Ben, or Greyfriars student might have access to them. Spare me from pretending a <A href="http://www.nanc.org/Certification" rel=nofollow target=_blank>NANC credential</A> is convincing to anyone but the most credulous. Let’s be honest, genuine counseling credentials are more than exchanged emails, phone conversations, open book tests, and videos. Good Lord, in comparison ITT Tech look like an ivy leage university.</SPAN></div>
<div class=yiv185367020MsoNormal><SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-SIZE: 16pt">What twisted, egocentric, lust for self-importance drives the men of the Kirk (and <A href="http://www.facebook.com/events/216223811815889/?ref=nf" rel=nofollow target=_blank>their like-minded allies</A> - click on the “see more …” to learn who else is involved) to believe they are competent to tackle any professional area that arouses their interest? It’s no wonder that your befuddled wives (who are not even R.N.s) <A href="http://www.fruitfulvinemidwife.com/services/" rel=nofollow target=_blank>deliver babies at home in a look-a-like child’s wading pool</A>. I wonder, can surgery on a kitchen table be far behind? Have you considered the distinct pattern of behavior among Kirkers – men and women - who consistently substitute swaggering (or sashaying) hubris for actual expertise. </SPAN></div>
<div class=yiv185367020MsoNormal><SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-SIZE: 16pt">You have chosen a fearful path to walk. Do you understand the damage you can do? Do you care? How many desperate people, lured into your office by the claim of <B>free counseling</B>, will be further damaged by your ignorance and presumption. Why can’t you appreciate the difference between praying with a troubled person and then sending him/her with your blessing and support to a proficient, academically credentialed, and state licensed counselor who has received an education including subjects like neurobiology, psychiatric illness, personality disorders, human development, and organic brain damage? And, in an act of true Christian charity, the Kirk can pay the bill. How do your counselors plan to differentiate between personality changes due to a malignant tumor or just a run of the mill sociopathic personality disorder (which,
incidentally is not generally believed to be curable – prayerfully or otherwise)? Will you also be praying the gay away? Given Doug’s penchant for mocking, hateful, homophobic language, I suspect it will be high on the agenda. </SPAN></div>
<div class=yiv185367020MsoNormal><SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-SIZE: 16pt">The entire community is aware of the Christ Church “cure” for pedophiles – arranged marriages. (Is that a Christ Church / Biblical Counseling example of a treatment plan?) Or, are you planning to beat the devil out of your patients – a Reformed exorcism – the way you spank your sinful children? <A href="http://www.credenda.org/archive/issues/16-2childer.php" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Whoops, I forgot, spanking is funny</A>. <A href="http://logosschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Application12-13.pdf" rel=nofollow target=_blank>Is Tom Garfield, aka Mr. Spanky</A> and Superintendent of Logos School, the leading candidate for that chore based on his expertise with a paddle or has a new child whacker taken over that job at Logos? (I’m betting not.) Doug Wilson is the unblushing author on how <A
href="http://www.credenda.org/archive/issues/8-4childer.php" rel=nofollow target=_blank>spanking is just what God ordered, and it should hurt</A> so maybe he will be a switch hitter.</SPAN></div>
<div class=yiv185367020MsoNormal><SPAN style="LINE-HEIGHT: 115%; FONT-SIZE: 16pt">But of course, your free counseling isn’t just charity work, is it? Once again the old Pyramid Scheme peeks around the corner and gives us a smirky wink and a slimy nudge. The old tried and true formula “You-too-can-start-a-Classical–Christian-school and you don’t need any silly government school degrees to do it “ has morphed to “For-the-meager sum- of-forty-dollars-and–three-days–of- training-you–can- become- a -Christian counselor” and here’s the best part, you don’t need a silly, worthless degree in Psychology to set up shop. What <B><U>is </U></B>the matter with you? Do you need money so badly that you will peddle snake oil and pretend it is of value? Have you no shame – oh, wait we know the answer to that question. You have moved from the jackass category which is sufficiently awful to the
toxically dangerous category. And while, I don’t believe that we have heard the last from the leaders of Christ Church and Trinity Reformed Church, I can’t imagine you could sink much lower.</SPAN></div>
