@ExaminingMoscow 10/ Here’s another Doug Wilson quote: “Slavery in the south was not an adversarial relationship with pervasive racial animosity… It was a relationship based upon mutual affection and confidence.” (Screenshot via @ExaminingMoscow - follow them!)

11/ Wilson “told Christianity Today in 2009, ‘You can’t apply Scripture woodenly. You might exile some homosexuals, depending on the circumstances & the age of the victim. There are circumstances where I’d be in favor of execution 4 adultery,” but “I’m not proposing legislation.”

12/ Link for post 11. It’s an article about Doug Wilson’s “spiritual takeover” of the town of Moscow, Idaho. au.org/the-latest/art…

13/ Wilson has also said that “the sexual act cannot be made into an egalitarian pleasuring party” and that, “A man penetrates, conquers, colonizes, plants,” while “A woman receives, surrenders, accepts.” (Here’s another screenshot via @ExaminingMoscow.) web.archive.org/web/2012072019…

@ExaminingMoscow 20/ Doug Wilson has ties to Lancaster, PA, as @LancPAExaminer has warned repeatedly. The connection is through Lancaster-based Veritas Academy (founded by Marlin Detweiler, Wilson’s ACCS cO-creator) and Veritas Press (where Detweiler is president).

@ExaminingMoscow @LancPAExaminer 33/ “In 2005, [Doug] Wilson asked a judge for leniency in the case of Stephen Sitler,” who had been “convicted of sex offenses involving children. After his release on probation in 2007, Sitler was married in Christ Church in 2010, by Wilson…” theguardian.com/world/2021/nov…

@ExaminingMoscow @LancPAExaminer 34/ Steven Sitler and his wife later had a baby. In 2015, the Idaho Dept of Corrections ordered that Sitler live outside his home due to “deviant sexual fantasies” involving the infant. sitler.moscowid.net/2015/12/17/ido…
