Doug Wilson is such a dangerous man. He's caused untold harm and injury. You were wise to not get sucked up in his CREC plans for expansion. Through it his tyrannies and abuse have spread far and wide. He's brought into the CREC many tyrannical "pastors" similar to himself, including a number that were defrocked from other denoms for spiritual abuse, such as RC Sproul Jr. I find it ironic to see Nick's comment above (Hello Nick! Small world). <br /><br />I know you won't be terribly surprised to hear that <a href="https://rc-sproul-jr.blogspot.com/2020/02/rc-sproul-jr-steven-sitler-pedophile-coverup.html" rel="nofollow">RC Jr was recently outed for his own pedophile coverup scandal</a>. Also not surprising that it involves one of the same pedophiles who later moved to Christ Church and preyed upon the lambs there, Steven Sitler. <br /><br />Wilson and Sproul will one day have to stand before God and give an accounting for their wicked deeds. I'm 100% confident they'll hear, "Depart from me you worker of iniquity. I never knew you." https://rc-sproul-jr.blogspot.com/2020/02/rc-sproul-jr-steven-sitler-pedophile-coverup.htmlIntrepidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00569300937351023346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421672378820966715.post-16906573928545717032015-10-27T12:25:53.992-07:002015-10-27T12:25:53.992-07:00Thanks Gary.

And you're dead on about the CREC, it was only ever about expanding Doug's reach. He carefully omitted giving anyone authority over him. I was there at all the mens' forums in Roy's basement when it was being discussed and edited.grendelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17572484957812481420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421672378820966715.post-50751917127310396432015-10-02T19:51:30.692-07:002015-10-02T19:51:30.692-07:00Thank you for sharing this publicly, Gary.

Wilson preaches that men should be the head of the household, so for him to remove the head of the household because of a disagreement in theology and then take over as Gary's wife's "head" is almost tantamount to adultery and a move only a cult leader would make. I believe that is the picture Gary is trying to paint with that comment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549265601060798582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421672378820966715.post-60409391692509741152015-09-23T18:42:15.269-07:002015-09-23T18:42:15.269-07:00I was with you until I read "my authority as ...I was with you until I read "my authority as the head of my household was snatched away."<br /><br />Really? was your wife not an equal partner as head of household?<br /><br />Glad you supported your daughter; but your wife was an equal partner and had the right to make her own decisions, whether it was keeping her half of the coffee shop or not converting to eastern orthodox.

God is just and men like Wilson will one day suffer the ultimate penalty of His justice. Unless he repents first, which is extremely unlikely. <br /><br />We have some things in common. I'm not a convert to Orthodoxy but I could have easily become one. Like you I was a member of a cult, R.C. Sproul Jr's St. Peter Presbyterian Church. R.C. Sproul Jr and Doug Wilson are two peas in a pod. Total control freaks, even to the point of needing their permission to move away or leave their churches. I knew a lot of families who had to sneak out of Sproul's church, including having to lie and making up stories. If that's not a cult I don't know what is. Sproul would "discipline" mebers and send them threatening letters and emails over the most silly things. You just don't dare to disagree with the almighty Precious. <br /><br />Because of Sproul's abuses of power he wound up scaring so many people that, within a few months after he was defrocked, half the church took advantage of the situation and left to become Russian Orthodox. And of course he then excommunicated them -- like a defrocked preacher even has that authority anyway. Needless to say no one cared what he had to say by that point. They found something in that Orthodox church that Sproul in his black heart could never offer -- selflessness, compassion and mercy. I hope you've found that too. <br /><br />May God in His great mercy minister to and heal you and your family of all the trauma that was inflicted on you by the evil Doug Wilson.
