The fight about waiving #SBC A/C privilege was always about protecting the men at the top from the ramifications of their immoral __ AND ILLEGAL__ activities.

A cursory review of the #SATFReport makes it plain as day.

@ChristaBrown777 @wthrockmorton @DefendTheSheep
The only surprising thing to me is that it took this long for the Federal government to get involved.

Background and observations by @nightlightoasis are here. I agree with almost all of it as another SBC outsider.

"Southern Baptists have always been cooperative in their spirit and are more than willing to help while we detest __as they detest sexual abuse of children or anyone__...
...it is a problem and the Catholic church brought it to light many years ago __and agree that there are some things that happen in Baptist churches that are swept under the rug and should not be.__"

If the reviewer can't even spell the author's name right, don't waste your time on the review.

The least thing you can do is copy and paste the name so that it's correct, even IF said is the worst book out there and contains all the heresy in it. 1/5
So on a whim, I read a book by Nadia Bolz-Weber a few weeks ago ("Shameless", for those who are curious), and I did it because a certain heretic kept putting her on blast. I don't read stuff I disagree with often, but in this case I wanted to see what the ruckus was about. 2/5
Nadia and I would disagree on a LOT, but I think she's a terrific writer and there are definitely things that she points out that I needed to think on, even if we still disagree. The other thing I took away from her book is that she LOVES her churchgoers. 3/5

Some thoughts on this.

1. @johnmacarthur shouldn't have to pull out. He should have been thrown out by @Ligonier days ago.

2. Anyone who seriously thinks Lig is going to touch MacArthur is delusional. Lig and Mac are tight and have been for years.
3. Not only are Ligon and John tight as friends, but their business models are also intertwined as well. Ligonier advertises at #ShepCon & vice versa...."A rising tide lifts all boats." Many of the fanatical "Mac"olytes move freely between the 2 & buy resources from both.
4. The real issue here is a culture, unfortunately NOT specific to John/@GraceComChurch, is that John (or another elder) is the king of an religious business empire where nobody holds him actually accountable. Same with @Phil_Johnson_. @ModernDayZorro has several examples.

Going to retweet some of the New Yorker article with parts that stuck out to me as it illustrates why I started questioning complementarianism and eventually decided this whole debate is fit only for the trash can.

This will be a thread, and probably a long one. 01/?
"For a time, Barr fell under the sway of an abusive boyfriend, who, while menacing her, spat Scripture demanding her submission. The fact that she couldn’t question him made it harder to see the abuse for what it was."

02/?
The first time I ever felt called on to use counseling training was when a young woman I worked with confided in me that her then-boyfriend was mentally, verbally, and socially cruel to her. Neither were saved, but I realized "complementarianism" had no category for this. 03/?

”The City of God does not prompt isolationism but the perspective necessary to seek the repair of an inevitably fragile thing. He encouraged the church to neither despair nor place ultimate hopes in the empire... (1/3)
The present political turmoil is neither a sign of the end times nor a justification for withdrawal from the world...The city of God and the earthly city are not synonymous with the church and “world,” rather they describe the 2 societies that make up all of God’s creation: (2/3)
those joined into a community by their mutual love of God (including believers currently alive and throughout history, and angels) and those joined into an alternate community by their misdirected love of self or temporal goods." -@KaitlynSchiess (3/3)

@mrsndw @JeanneB94593018 @KyriosityTweets @TJSumpter @CrenchF @HunterCrowder6 @scott_m_coley @douglaswils I read that years ago. I'm still unimpressed with his "defense" of marrying a pedophile to a college aged student.

Abort, Retry, Fail?
@mrsndw @JeanneB94593018 @KyriosityTweets @TJSumpter @CrenchF @HunterCrowder6 @scott_m_coley @douglaswils I do, generally, try to give people the benefit of the doubt by reading their version of things. This one is just so particularly wrong that it surprises me that there are people who defend it.
@mrsndw @JeanneB94593018 @KyriosityTweets @TJSumpter @CrenchF @HunterCrowder6 @scott_m_coley @douglaswils Also, Post Tenebras Lux and Heather are really cute - "Doug Wilson Is Right...says Doug Wilson and his band of elders!"

Try a little bit, please. You're clowning yourselves.
