RC Sproul's Christmas Present to Don Kistler
"You're fired!" "On November 28 Don Kistler was informed of his immediate termination. No severance package of any kind was offered, and his health insurance has been cancelled." If you've kept up with the story, you know that Frank Vance was sued by RC Sproul for making it known that witnesses had alleged fraud on the part of Lie-gonier Ministries. Sproul had hired Kistler in order to take over his successful ministry, and this was the subject of the alleged fraud. Witnesses told Vance that a crucial clause in the contract allowing Kistler to resume his ministry if he chose to do so was removed at the last minute. Kistler then suffered a stroke and, possibly for fear of his future, denounced the allegations. All of this was done very mysteriously, as Frank Vance has documented. Recent events have transpired as predicted, and we're quite sure that Don Kistler must be in agony now for not speaking the truth when he had much to lose. The trouble with telling the truth now is that it will show that he loved money more than honor, but it's still better than the alternative. The excuse offered for his firing is that he set up his own website, but it's a very convenient excuse. Now Sproul controls the lucrative Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, and Don Kistler will have to look for another way to pay his medical bills. Judgment is nigh, RC Sproul, and may it come swiftly. Your lawyers won't be able to save you.
Ministry Watchman is doing excellent work. The latest piece focuses on Dapper Doug Phillips, who is revealed to be a legalist and a misogynist. How would you women like to visit the "It's All About Doug" church and be forbidden to introduce your own father or request prayer, since women aren't allowed to speak in The Church of Doug? No writing notes either, and careful with the expressive eye movements! In fact, you ladies should wear burkas, because a submissive wife is a wife that can be neither seen nor heard. It also helps to have Hispanic housekeeping assistance. As Bad says, "Having two domestic servants leaves a lot of time to sit around reading Titus 2." Be sure to read about the angel-eggs at the weekly pot-providence meal.
It seems that the Church of Doug, Boerne Christian Assembly, registered a website days ago, on November 28, to respond to this matter. The Church of Doug (so called because for most of its history Doug Phillips was the sole "elder") contends that the couple in question was "biblically and lovingly disciplined for gross, unrepentant sin" including "violent railings, vicious accusations, cruelty and threats on their part directed at each other, other women at BCA, the families coming alongside of them in counsel and prayer, and the church leadership." Keep in mind that the word "leadership" is a nebulous term. If they had a plurality of elders, they would have said "elders." As expected, not a single Ministry Watchman allegation is contradicted with actual proof, even though the Church of Doug insists that the article is "rife with pure fabrications, dangerous half-truths, malicious innuendo, and vicious personal attacks." Also as expected, a lawsuit is threatened by Douglas Phillips, Esquire. Stay tuned to Ministry Watchman for further revelations.
How ironic that Dapper Doug has made a small fortune selling all things "honorable," including the books of dead "racists." One comment posted under the story: "As the wife of a hispanic I've often been a bit uncomfortable with the ethnocentric contents of Vision Forum's products." David Bayly groans about the Tunnel Vision Forum catalog depicting a "rosy-cheeked, all-American boy looming in front of the Alamo." Likewise, after comparing Phillips to Hitler, Michael Metzler grouses about "American apple pie served by white girls in pretty fluffy dresses." The good news is that Phillips has inspired Badonicus to start a non-profit outreach ministry to wiggers. When I say "outreach," I mean beating them up, but that's neither here nor there. He's hoping to begin construction on his own indoor pool, so get ready to send in your donations.
Kevin Swanson's clerical vestments are in a twist because the truth is being publicized about his friends. This sort of thing could negatively affect his speaking engagements. "Upon perusing the content [at Ministry Watchman, the website whose name must not be uttered] (which goes on for volumes on end), I could only cringe with embarrassment that such information is made public to a watching world." Notice that the truth of the matter is not the issue for Kevin, but only that it is made public. It goes without saying that Swanson has nothing bad to say about Lie-gonier's unbiblical lawsuit. Here are the words Kevin uses about Ministry Watchman: yellow-bellied, infantile, irresponsible, slanderous, nasty, silly, like two year olds kicking sand into each other's faces in the sandbox, rabble rousers, negative, character assassination, wounded ego, envy, on-line slander ministries, rotten little boys and girls who found that special delight in kicking everybody's sand castles to smithereens. Dapper Doug linked to Swanson's post and added the word "cancer" to the vocabulary list. Just like Swanson, he refuses to mention Ministry Watchman by name, because then people would go there and see that none of the adjectives apply. But Swanson was just getting started! He also made "Yellow-Bellied Blogging" the subject of his latest radio show, and this allowed him to use even more words: "saying mean things, attack, ad hominem, less than honorable, legalistic, corrupt, envious, embarrassing, gossip, gripes, whines, complaints, casting aspersions. Best of all, Bad and I get special mention on the radio: "some of the bloggers are upset over interracial marriage." That's an understatement, brother. This isn't the first time that Swanson has valued personal friendships over honor. Unlike Suck-Up Kevin, who dishonorably neglects to mention his financial conflict of interest in the matter, we believe that sunlight is the best disinfectant.
The interesting thing is that Phillips calls his accusers "anonymous," but who ever heard of "anonymous" critics being so precise with what they disclose while the "accountable" pastors hide and obfuscate and present no substantiation whatsoever? Kind of reminds you of Deep Throat during the Watergate scandal, doesn't it? For instance, since Doug Phillips is a lawyer, he understands the concept of due process. The statement posted by his pet church specifically refers to "Excommunication With Due Process." But how will it look for them if Ministry Watchman proves in the next few days that due process was not followed; that the family in question was excommunicated without a trial; that all existing documentation supports the family's case? Then we'll know why due process is such a pain in the neck for tyrants. It's so hard to convene an honest kangaroo court these days.
I still want to know where in the Bible it says that Christians may sue non-Christians for any matter whatsoever. This is the official position of the Church of Doug and of the Fraternal Order of Litigious Christians. As we've mentioned previously, Doug's hero John Gill denied it. I'm eager for a Bible lesson if someone would like to volunteer.
Pope Benedict XVI "desires Turkey's membership in the EU," according to an official statement from the Vatican. As Lawrence Auster recently mentioned, this is in line with "the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate which embraces Muslims as fellow ‘adorers of the one God,' which Benedict fully endorses…" You can call this whatever you like, and use big, florid words to describe it, but you can't call it Christian. God only loves those for whom He died, which means that He hates most people alive today. We have J. Gresham Machen and many others before him to thank for the fact that we know the difference. Machen wrote: "The modern liberal doctrine is that all men everywhere, no matter what their race or creed, are brothers… [L]iberalism is not Christianity. [Neither are other Unitarian faiths such as Islam.] And that being the case, it is highly undesirable that liberalism and Christianity should continue to be propagated within the bounds of the same organization. A separation between the two parties in the Church is the crying need of the hour… The plain fact is that liberalism, whether it be true or false, is no mere ‘heresy' - no mere divergence at isolated points from Christian teaching. On the contrary, it proceeds from a totally different root, and it constitutes, in essentials, a unitary system of its own.
"The Pope visited a mosque for the second time in history and prayed in the direction of Mecca, like the other idolaters.
Remember when the Pope visited Auschwitz earlier this year and said that killing anti-Christs is an attempt to kill the God of Abraham?
Borders are not recognized by nature, says Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi. So I guess we should learn to be more like the animals and simply kill trespassers. "Land is property of everyone, and God commands all human beings to migrate on earth to seek a living, which is their right." Isn't it amazing that so many American Christians agree with the dictator of Libya? Maybe they and Gaddafi and the Pope can put their money together and buy some real estate on the plain of Shinar.
Since Muslim dictators want us to be at one with nature, should we follow the example of cannibalistic eagles or just homosexual penguins?
Speaking of nature red in tooth and claw, Watts is becoming too violent for Blacks. It's all about survival of the fittest.
"Just go to the CIA World Fact Book, pick any of the African countries (Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, etc.), and compare the statistics to any Western country (e.g., Portugal, Italy, Spain, Ireland). The disparities are appalling - and it's going to get worse, not better… Charity is no answer… The viciousness, the cruelty, the corruption, the duplicity, the savagery, and the incompetence is endemic to the entire continent, and is so much of an anathema to any right-thinking [White] person that the civilized imagination simply stalls when faced with its ubiquity, and with the enormity of trying to fix it. The Western media shouldn't even bother reporting on it. All that does is arouse our feelings of horror, and the instinctive need to do something, anything - but everything has been tried before, and failed. Everything, of course, except self-reliance. All we should do is make sure that none of Africa gets transplanted over to the U.S., because the danger to our society is dire if it does. I note that several U.S. churches are attempting to bring groups of African refugees over to the United States, European churches the same for Europe. Mistake. Mark my words, this misplaced charity will turn around and bite us, big time… The West can't help Africa. Nor should we. The record speaks for itself."
A song sung by the former, current, and future presidents of South Africa: "We members of Umkhonto are prepared to kill all the Boers… Get on the roof and tell them that when I hit the Boer, my mother becomes happy… Whites and Boers are troubling our parents at home: we are going to hit them with our AK-47's and bazookas."
Rev. Stephen Elliott called slavery an act of mercy, and in postmillennial hope, the catalyst for the evangelization of Africa. "The enterprising missionaries of the American Churches have tried it, and while their previous knowledge of the African in this country had, in a measure, prepared them for their work, they too have failed, because the Caucasian blood has not been able to bear the enervating heats and destructive fevers of the torrid zone. Whence, then, is their regeneration to come, for come it must, if the Bible be the word of God, ere the present economy of things shall terminate? We are driven to look for it from some agency which shall [be] able, through national affinities, through a like physiological structure, through a oneness of blood and of race, to bear the burden of this work, and ultimately, in God's own time, to plant the gospel in their Father-land, after they themselves shall have been prepared, through a proper discipline, for the performance of this duty. And I find this agency in the African slaves now dwelling upon this Continent and educating among ourselves."
"It is clear Rick Warren would never have a racist or sexist speak at his church concerning any topic," but a Negro baby-killer is okay. By the way, almost all Black churches at least tolerate, if not outright approve, of a woman's right to choose murder for her planned family. I've never heard of anyone in a Black church being disciplined for voting Democrat. About 97% of them do it. As far as I'm concerned, the willful support for abortion alone cuts them off from the grace of the church and of the Holy Spirit. Until they repent, we have no business calling them Christians. I'm not even sure if those who shout and dance for hours on end understand anything about the faith - and that goes for Whites too.
I received this note from my friend Red Phillips:
I am looking for a Church since we just moved. I have a great deal of sympathy with the Reformed folks on some issues so we visited a Reformed Baptist Church. We were invited to eat lunch. Somehow, we got on the subject of immigration. One of the ladies said she had been reading Olasky, and he had greatly changed her thoughts on the matter. We have an obligation to care for the "huddled masses" of the World. I am not good at keeping my big mouth shut so I took issue with her. You should have seen the looks I got. Like I was uttering pure heresy. I made no headway and when all was said and done I'm sure they thought I was a total reprobate.
Richard Land is one of the most prominent baptists in the country. He is also a traitor. He writes: "Thanks to some remarkably brave people, black and white, who confronted the evils of racism and segregation in the Civil Rights Movement in the middle of the 20th century, Segregation and White Supremacy have been largely eradicated from American society." And see the first comment: "I promise I am not a church basher, but aren't we fooling ourselves to point the finger at Mel and Michael while most of us attend a church that would think twice about baptising a member of another race, or hosting a wedding for an inter-racial couple." You won't be surprised to learn that Richard Land, like Rick Warren, is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and is pushing the U.N.'s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With Christian leaders like these, who needs atheists?
The Council on Foreign Relations is trying to erase borders, create the North American Union, and replace the dollar with the "Amero." They'll all get rich, and the country will be destroyed in the process. Since they hate borders, it stands to reason that they love race-mixing, and my feeling is that Chinese water torture is too humane for the lying preachers who are enabling them.
The amazing Jamaican sprinter. "On close examination these phenomena are manifestations of high levels of aggressiveness and drive, high libidos, highly efficient muscles from persons of lean body mass and black ethnicity. On closer scrutiny all of these phenomena are either related to high circulating levels of testosterone or alternatively to high levels of responsiveness of testosterone receptors to circulating testosterone. It has already been shown that the testosterone receptors of blacks are different genetically to those of whites and this difference confers increased responsiveness to testosterone. I propose that Jamaicans of primarily African descent have even greater testosterone responsiveness than blacks anywhere else." This sounds reasonable, but then he leaves the road and drives through the cornfield: "I believe the answer to this lies in the slave ship routes within the Caribbean and the New World." This reminds me of when Congressman Major Owens claimed, on the floor of the U.S. House, that a hundred million slaves were thrown overboard from the slave ships, and sharks continue to swim the route to this day. Blacks are confident that every phenomenon known to man originated with the slave trade.
Hottentot Michael Irvin postulates that White Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo owes his athletic ability to the miscegenation of a distant relative with one of her slaves. As he put it: "[Romo's] great, great, great, great Grandma pulled one of them studs up outta the barn.” Irvin won't be fired for it like Jimmy the Greek and Rush Limbaugh, because we're all equal and whatever.

Scorebored is becoming a songwriter, but keep it a secret. His new project is called The N-Word Song, and every word in the song begins with the letter N. Just wait until you hear the chorus. He was hoping that Johnny Cash would propel him to stardom, but we had to break the news to him that Johnny is dead. His second choice for singer is Kinky Friedman.

"The racial gap in average IQ is one of the most important factors in modern American life. We can tell how important it is because we aren't allowed to talk about it."
There are twice as many men as women with an IQ over 120. There are 30 times the number of men with an IQ over 170 as there are women.
"Bertha is the unsung heroine of early English Christianity because it was she, rather than the much more famous St Augustine, who was initially responsible for the introduction of Christianity into the Anglo-Saxon world. It was as a result of her activities that St Augustine was sent to England by the Pope to become the first Archbishop of Canterbury."
"In this country in fifteen or twenty years' time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man." ~ Enoch Powell, April 20, 1968
"White Britons, alarmed at immigration, are fleeing the capital and even the country in record numbers in a ‘white flight' that mirrors South Africa's exodus." George Walden, the education secretary under Margaret Thatcher, "predicts London, in a decade, will be ‘a three-ring circus without the laughs' — including largely white inner and outer rings bristling with security, and a ‘multicultural ring' exclusively made up of ‘ethnic immigrants.'" In other words, it will be like Brazil, and every memory of Christian freedom will be lost. John Milton's statement that "God speaks first to his Englishmen" will be erased from the history books. (Many Kansas farmers have moved to Brazil because an acre of land could cost $5,000 in Kansas but only $100 in Brazil. But they're miserable and oppressed, because the problem with Brazil is the mixed, corrupt Brazilians. The same thing happened after Lincoln's Fratricidal War.)
"Her once predominantly white neighborhood is now 85% Hispanic. Crime has increased 800%, HIV 700%, rape and gang shootings are rife, and an all-Hispanic school board has removed all white authors from the district reading list."

First World technology meets Third World hygiene. Here in south Florida, I've always been stunned to see Mexicans, in broad daylight, dumping old refrigerators and lawn mowers and tires and motor oil in the woods. They're the reason why Mexico City is the most polluted large city on earth. I've called the cops numerous times, and they do absolutely nothing about it, for the same reason that the Sierra Club refuses to stand against illegal immigration, knowing full well the threat to the environment. This is what it looks like when the rule of law dies.
Mark Weber explains why the "Sound of Music" view of Hitler's "rape" of Austria is a lie. I know it's shocking to learn that Jews lie. I sure do like the song "Edelweiss," though, but only because it is about our distant homeland. My heart wouldn't stir for a second about flowers that grow in Nigeria or Bangladesh.
It's funny to watch Jews distance themselves from Michael Richards. Now they say he never converted, and they also let it slip that Jews are united primarily by blood. "From the Orthodox point of view, if that person has a Jewish mother, he would be considered Jewish. In the Reform tradition, there's also a patrilineage." This is why Jews are racial supremacists. Like the Pharisees of old, they believe they are saved by race rather than grace. Badonicus has pointed out many times that even atheist Jews are still considered Jews, but there is one thing a Jew can do that will cause him to lose his Jewish status: trust in Christ. We Kinists don't for a second believe that our blood saves us. Instead, God surrounds us with family and kin who shepherd us in the faith. These are crucial ingredients for our nurture and admonition in the Lord, which is why faith ebbs when national identity ebbs. The neo-Babelist "Christian nation of the world" that the lying preachers fantasize about has never existed in any time or place.
The dollar has fallen to a 15-year low, Asians comprise 41.8% of the freshman class at the University of California, and a small baby boom in Finland must be hard on the feminists and socialists and Jew-worshipers.
This is one of those articles that you kind of expect to see.
"Southwest Virginia is for haters." Sounds like a lovely place.
Isn't it strange that every Lincolnite loves the appeal to "the proposition that all men are created equal" in the Declaration? They always ignore an even more important statement in that document that government exists according to "the consent of the governed," which is precisely what Lincoln denied.
Now the faith is old and the Devil bold
Exceedingly bold indeed.
And the masses of doubt that are floating about
Would smother a mortal creed.
But we that sit in a sturdy youth
And still can drink strong ale
Let us put it away to infallible truth
That always shall prevail.
And thank the Lord
For the temporal sword
And howling heretics too.
And all good things
Our Christendom brings
But especially barley brew!
With my row-ti-tow
Ti-oodly-ow
Especially barley brew!

Harry,
I notice Kevin Swanson takes the very brave step of producing no proof whatsoever that we “yellow-bellied bloggers” have said anything untrue, and he very courageously allows no comments on his blog. All he is doing is what the FARCE has been doing for I don't know how long - placing themselves above accountability, instead of above reproach.
The Reformed denominations are dead, dead, dead. “Ichabod” is tattooed on them head-to-foot. Their trumpeted claim of immunity-from-scandal-thanks-to-accountability is only so much air, and polluted air, at that. I wonder when the majority of Reformed Christians will see that the situation we have now is God's people vs. Reformed elders.
I'll never again take an oath of membership in any Reformed denomination. But if I did, I would amend it with clauses like “I retain sole authority over my family. No elder may ever usurp said authority,” and “Should a conflict arise between myself and the Session, I retain the right to seek counsel from Godly men outside the Session.” Can you imagine what would happen? Let a man in a Reformed denomination these days try to assert his familial authority and especially his liberty of conscience, and the FARCE will pounce upon him with lupine ferocity.
When someone takes membership vows these days, instead of offering “the right hand of fellowship”, perhaps the elders should just issue a collar and a very short leash. It would be more appropriate, since elders have long since ceased being shepherds and have become masters.

I'm not surprised that arrogant windbag Richard Land (if Tim Dick is “Big Dick” and Ryan Dick is “Little Dick,” should we call the Rev. Dr. Land “Stupid Dick”?) is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. According to left-wing activist and author Max Blumenthal, the president of the Southern Baptist Convention's Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission denounced Rousas John Rushdoony when asked about Rushdoony in recent months:
“Leaders of major Christian right interest groups used to read R.J. Rushdoony, but it's not fashionable to do so anymore. That's what I was told last year by a conservative evangelical college professor who attended meetings of the Values Action Team, an off-the-record caucus of Washington-based Christian right groups and right-wing members of congress. I confirmed for myself just how uncomfortable a subject Rushdoony is for the mainstream Christian right when I approached Richard Land last December and asked if he agreed with Rushdoony's ideology. Land cringed, then collected himself enough to utter a boilerplate denunciation of his work.”
http://www.talk2action.org/story/2006/2/15/1947/05271
I was never too impressed by Land's intellectual abilities, even though he constantly reminds us that he sports an Oxford doctorate. (So do some other notorious scoundrels). I heard what I will charitably call a “sermon” he preached on D. James Kennedy's “Truths That Transform” several months ago, in which he made several very basic historical mistakes. Most glaring of all was his expressed admiration of “American democracy” — when most homeschooled children, I am confident, know that our nation is a Constitutional Republic, and most emphatically not a democracy.
The following quote from the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission's website, “For Faith and Family,” demonstrates with a vengeance that Land is intellectually bankrupt and theologically bereft:
“Dr. Land's record as a pro-family advocate is capped by his proudest accomplishment -— his 34-year marriage to his wife Dr. Rebekah Land (a psychotherapist in private practice) and his personal investment with her in the lives of their three adult children, Jennifer, Richard, Jr., and Rachel.”
http://www.erlc.com/CC_Content_Page/0,,PTID314166|CHID600774|CIID,00.html
Any professing Christians who earn a living by dabbling in the utterly anti-Biblical and anti-Christian nonsense known as “psychotherapy” can hardly be credited with having a comprehensively Biblical life and world view. And any professing Christian husband who allows his wife to peddle that particular humanistic snake oil would undoubtedly say stupid things about a genuinely Christian man with a consistent Biblical ethic, and do incredibly stupid things like join the anti-Christian Council on Foreign Relations.

Harry,
I recently took issue here at Little Geneva with Frank Vance's use of the term “misogynist” to describe Dapper Doug Phillips, as its current, common, and consistent abuse by feminists of all tripes (pardon the pun) causes me to reflexively oppose those who employ it as a rhetorical device. In the comments section of Ministry Watchman's most recent posting on Dapper Doug, none other than Cheryl Lindsey Seelhoff writes:
“Good for you, Ministry Watchman, for publishing this, and for being a voice for all of the many, many women and children who have no meaningful voice in this world. May your tribe increase. I pray that somehow all of these women and their children will find their way out and into the light, by any means necessary.”
For those of you who don't know who Cheryl Lindsey Seelhoff — one of the early leaders of the Christian homeschooling movement — is, check out the following link:
http://www.homeedmag.com/seelhoffvs.welch/news.html
Scandals have been around in the homeschool movement long before Dapper Doug or Ass-Kissing Kevin Swanson became prominent names in those circles!
Also check out Seelhoff's blog, where she makes her now radical feminist views unashamedly clear:
http://womensspace.wordpress.com/
I was delighted to read Ministry Watchman's response to Seelhoff:
“Perhaps there will be some, such as yourself, who may attempt to use this article to say, ‘Ahah! Didn't we tell you all those full quiver, dominionist, right-wing, Christian Reconstructionist, patriarchalists were wicked misogynists that abuse women?' But Cheryl you're throwing the baby out with the bath water.
“While we're not going to defend these doctrines, we're also not going to condemn biblical patriarchy, full quiver, dominionism, Reconstructionism, or any other doctrines that you vehemently condemn, Cheryl. There are many healthy (spiritually, emotionally and physically) and wonderful Christian families that believe and practice those things. Many, if not most of the men that head such families are loving and compassionate to their wives and children, employees, church members, etc….
“Does the radical feminist lesbian goddess worshipping paganism that you have turned to since abandoning your Christian faith in any effective way serve to call abusive men to repentance Cheryl? No, only the gospel of Jesus Christ can do that. It is by the authority of that very same gospel by which we now call Doug Phillips to repentance, and at the same time we would call you to repentance, Cheryl. Please Cheryl, return to the Savior you once loved.”

You suggested I hadn't read Vance close enough, Harry. You were right. My apologies to Frank for misunderstanding him, and for criticizing him on the basis of that misunderstanding.

A friend sent me these quotes from the old Andrew Sandlin (before he lost his mind):
Secular Western democrats in this century from Teddy Roosevelt to Woodrow Wilson to George Bush to Bill Clinton are dedicated to a New World Order. At the end of the recent war against Serbia, British Prime Minister and Bill Clinton wannabe, Tony Blair, exulted in Newsweek ('A New Moral Crusade,' June 14, 1999, 35):
‘The consequences of our success in Kosovo will not be felt in Europe alone. As I said in Newsweek in April, we need to enter a new millennium where dictators know that they cannot get away with ethnic cleansing or repress their peoples with impunity. Imagine how Saddam will react to this victory; imagine the reactions of other dictators who are tempted to resolve their political problems by terrorizing their own people or attacking their neighbors. They will now know that when we say we will act, we are serious. We now have a chance to build a new internationalism based on values and the rule of law.'
In other words, ‘We are laying down a police-state ultimatum to all you rogue nations out there: fall into line with our politically internationalist pipe dreams, or we'll bomb you into submission.' This implies, among other things, the erasure of localism, sectionalism, and nationalism, and the installation of a one-world civil government (subordinating all other governments); a one-world court; a one-world banking system; and, eventually, a one-world police state. Interestingly, these objectives are not fundamentally different from those of Marxism. Marxist Communism and Western Democracy are simply rival versions of political internationalism. Both are relentlessly dedicated to world domination — by political violence, if necessary.
Many citizens of Western democracies are not political internationalists at heart, but are easily lured into the mentality of political internationalism by elitist politicos intent on nothing less than a worldwide power grab. The political instability of other sovereign nations, the suffering of her citizens at the hands of a totalitarian regime, the poverty resulting from foolish statist economic policies — all of these seem like good warrant for political invasion of one sort or the other. But they are not.
Tyranny committed by the civil magistrate (like all tyranny) is evil, but invasions of sovereign nations by other sovereign nations bent on correcting ‘human rights abuses' usually create a new (and often greater) tyranny all their own. The Biblical approach, in terms of modern language, is to be “hawks” when protecting one's own borders and “doves” when penetrating another nation's borders. This is sometimes called isolationism. It is not. It is non-interventionism.

Wheeler,
You're so funny!
December 3rd, 2006 at 11:08 pm
Harry, thanks for the effective and entertaining skewering of Kevin Swanson. I have always been suspicious of men with overly blow-dried hair, and Kevin Swanson's prose, with its triumph of style over substance, not only matches his hairdo but also confirms my prejudice.
As an English teacher, I was curious to see who else is debasing the English language in order to parrot the Swanson spiel. To that end, I have been clicking through various blogs run by friends of Dapper Doug. Although I have noticed that Phillips can usually count on lockstep support, I found only one other person so far willing to hold his nose and publicly endorse Swanson's swill. He even added his own adjective: “scurrilous.”
In the interest of Christian charity, I think we should give this individual the benefit of the doubt and conclude that it is just coincidence that he, like Swanson, has a history of profiting from his relationship with Phillips and that he just forgot to disclose that history along with his endorsement of Swanson's swill:

December 4th, 2006 at 7:32 am
Harry, you point out that Kevin Swanson was very careful not to name the name of Ministry Watchman while attacking it. Doug Phillips did the same while endorsing the Kevin Swanson attack. The Boerne Christian Assembly leader with the initials BS also refused to name the name that may not be named, as did the Vision Forum Board members in their own unsigned attack statement.
Given the witty and sharp commentary offered in the discussion threads at Ministry Watchman (nearly 200 comments on the first part of the first Doug Phillips expose alone), I am not surprised they are desperate to prevent their followers from reading gems such as the following exposure of the shallow and insipid thinking of these new church “reformers”:
Kevin Swanson: “Let me say this as plainly as I possibly can. Any “Christian” blogger, who casts aspersions on another professing Christian in the public web forum, who is not a member of church, accountable to ordained elders/ministers/pastors, and who refuses to provide some means of contacting him personally by phone or in person, is a yellow-bellied blogger, and his blog is not worthy of a second's worth of attention on the part of any true believer.”
Curious: Thank you, sir, for your enlightened commentary. Without your assistance I would never have discovered that in person and phone contact are Biblical but email communication is not worthy of “any true believer.”
As I'm a bit of a dullard, however, and Mr. Phillips declares that you possess “the skill of a master physician of analysis” on this topic, in the interest of “real issues in the real world,” would you please explain just where you found this refined technological distinction in Scripture?

“I have always been suspicious of men with overly blow-dried hair, and Kevin Swanson's prose, with its triumph of style over substance, not only matches his hairdo but also confirms my prejudice.”
LOL! Does anyone besides me consider it ironic that Dapper Doug and all of his sychophantic buddies (such as the blow-dried weenie Swanson) like to sing praises to “real manhood,” but all of them — to the last “man” — look like a bunch of sissies, weaklings, and wimps?
Can't you just see Dapper Doug and Weenie Swanson leading men into battle in the War of Northern Aggression? ROTFLMAO!

“the Vatican II document Nostra Aetate which embraces Muslims as fellow ‘adorers of the one God,' which Benedict fully endorses…” You can call this whatever you like, and use big, florid words to describe it, but you can't call it Christian.
Exactly. The Orthodox would agree with you- that is, the TRUE Orthodox, not the WCC/NCC “Novus ordo” Scoba-dox around here in these parts.

Before Tom in Tulsa commented I had the same thought about the term “misogynist.” I'm not sure conservatives should use that term anymore than they should use the term racism. I am not sure that Biblical ideas about patriarchy necessitate everything that Doug (no relation) Phillips suggests, but I'm sure he doesn't “hate women” as the “m word” implies.
Until 04, I had a generally favorable view of Doug Phillips, as I do of his father. In 04 when there was a minor dust up about Paroutka being a member of the League of the South, D. Phillips made a remark about the League that was at least ill considered and perhaps malicious. Is he a Marshall style Christian Nation nationalist? I do not believe his father is. H. Phillips is at least friendly to/tolerant of Southern sympathetic elements of the right.
‘Ahah! Didn't we tell you all those full quiver, dominionist, right-wing, Christian Reconstructionist, patriarchalists were wicked misogynists that abuse women?' But Cheryl you're throwing the baby out with the bath water. While we're not going to defend these doctrines, we're also not going to condemn biblical patriarchy, full quiver, dominionism, Reconstructionism, or any other doctrines that you vehemently condemn, Cheryl”
Can someone clear something up for me? Is there a difference between a Christian Reconstructionist and a dominionist? I know what a Reconstructionist is, and that view implies theonomy. But could someone be a dominionist without being a full blown Reconstructionist? To me dominionist implies a post-mil world view that the culture will gradually be Christianized. It also suggests sort of the opposite view from the separatist. That culture should be captured instead of withdrawn from. So, for example, is D. James Kennedy a dominionist even though he is not a Reconstructionist?

re the IQ of men and women… it's also the case that men dominate the low-IQ end of the scale. Most geniuses are men, and so are most nut-cases. The statistical curve of women is simply bunched more sharply around the mean.
December 4th, 2006 at 10:19 pm
That's a good point about the term misogynist, Red. I don't believe I've ever used it before. And I don't believe that Dapper hates women, but according to the testimony of the family he abused, he has put women in a strange and unbiblical position, which certainly doesn't show love and respect for them. So the most likely explanation is that he thinks he is doing good but is carried away with some unusual beliefs - what some are calling “hyper-patriarchy.”
I think it's very wise for women to not work outside the home, and for daughters to not move away to godless universities, etc., but any church elder who raises these family matters to the level of disciplinary offenses is going beyond his authority. That's the problem with Doug Phillips. Otherwise, much of what he says is of great value.
December 4th, 2006 at 10:19 pm
Red, “dominionism” is term currently used by critics of the Religious Right. It's come to mean anyone pushing a Christian agenda in the public sphere, esp. politics and education. They lifted the term, however, from the reconstructionists. Dominionism is an aspect of Christian Reconstruction, but not the sum total.
Those same critics refer to Kennedy as a reconstructionist. He is not. According to their definition of a dominionist, he is a dominionist — he's pushing a Christian agenda in politics.
A person can be a dominionist without subscribing to theonomy. They just don't have any rational or Biblical basis for doing so. Rejection of the case laws leads to ethical relativism.
December 4th, 2006 at 10:27 pm
Now I'm beginning to understand the mentality of the reformers … praying to Mecca? The best spin you could put on it is that the Pope considers it like eating meat offered up to idols. In any event, quite a scandal.
And all along, he has opposed bringing Turkey into the EU. What changed so suddenly?
Paradoxically, over the weekend in Italy they had a series of demonstrations with over 2 million people, the largest since Mussolini packed them in. They were opposing the socialist government of Prodi. And everywhere, there were large signs that read: “Keep Italy Christian, not Muslim”.
Abandoned first by their government (which plans “amnesty” for illegal aliens, if that sounds familiar), and now by their religious leader.
What exactly is going on in the West?
December 4th, 2006 at 10:51 pm
D. James Kennedy = dottering old fool.
H. Phillips = fraud.

Dear Harry,
The wacky Reformed Episcopal Church (REC) just gave the Los Estados Unidos a Christmas present also. Below, is a paragraph from a 15 page document for the uniting of the REC & Anglican Province in America. If you recall, the REC has an agreement with the Nigerian Anglican Church which includes joint membership. (Oh yea, please bring MORE LYING Nigerians here, many more.), now the REC wants to abrogate God's created order of the different races. I think the REC has drunk deep of the heretics N. T. Wright and Steve Wilkins (New view on Paul); see: http://littlegeneva.com/badlands/?p=1227#comments & http://teampyro.blogspot.com/2006/03/double-talk-is-diabolical-cruelty.html for more info on NT Wright.
God help us, how can we get more Pastors (Churches) like John Weaver? Man, it is almost over for Whites, Thanks REC!!! Maybe the REC can migrate to Nigeria?

Trinity Season, 2006
True Unity for the Cross of Christ
For the Spread of the Gospel
…….
Fourth, the unity for which the Lord prays comes only through the Church. Christ prays accordingly for the future formation of a unified church because the world will only know of His type of unity through the kingdom of God. He formulates His petition as, “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word (John 17:20). The Church is the context, indeed the new world order, in which the unity of the Godhead is known. The Greek word for church is ecclesia. It literally means, “called out ones.” Biblically and theologically, the word means so much more. Scriptures only speak of three categories of races in redemptive history. There is Jew, Gentile, and the Church. The Church as ecclesia is a “third race,” “an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession” (1 Peter 2:9). The irony is that it is only in the church, the redemptive historical third race, where there is neither Jew nor Greek (Galatians 3:27-29). Race is not to be a factor because all racial boundaries are transcended by Christ. Among the people of God, there are “neither Jews nor Gentiles, but . . . a third race, whose unity lies not in their opinions but in the redemptive act whereby they were begotten and born anew.”6 The Church is the place of ultimate, eschatological oneness. Richard Neuhaus writes, “God is one and all who are God's are one. The church is the communal articulation of that truth.”7

It's like I'm trapped in a nightmare, ACTUP. God bless the Nigerians who don't want any part of the American fag churches, but what are White American Episcopal Christians thinking? Have they completely lost their minds?
An interesting line from that Phallus Johnson article: “They tell us that Paul's great concern actually was for racial harmony and diversity in the covenant community. So the only significant complaint Paul had with the Pharisees and the Judaizers was their racial and cultural exclusivity.” That's a pretty good article, even though Phil Johnson is a White-Hater in his own regard (and calls me “Kunta Kinist,” which is pretty funny). Excellent article by Bad, and who else has written about this statement by Wright since then?
December 5th, 2006 at 12:00 pm
(to #7:) I wonder, did Candy lose his mind, or did he get a big fat check from a certain Republican activist?
December 7th, 2006 at 1:15 pm
Speaking of “Republican activists,” one wonders (okay, I really couldn't care less) what Andy and other “conservative Christian” GOP sychophants will have to say about the recent news that the lesbian daughter of Vice President Dick and Lynne “Lesbian Love Scene Writer” Cheney is pregnant:
“No Republican in Washington is more beloved by social conservatives than Vice President Dick Cheney, who with his wife, Lynne, has backed and breathed every issue dear to them for six tumultuous years.
“News that Cheney's openly gay daughter, Mary, is pregnant has touched a raw nerve, as advocates for conservative family values struggle to reconcile their loyalty to the Cheneys with their visceral opposition to same-sex relationships–and particularly to raising a child without a father.”
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0612070027dec07,1,6906503.story?coll=chi-newsnationworld-hed
Seeing a picture of Miss Cheney's love interest, one Heather Poe, reminded me of the hilarious comment that got John Schmitz booted out of the John Birch Society. He had been picketed by a group of feminists and he described them as having “hard, Jewish and — arguably — female faces.” LOL!
December 7th, 2006 at 8:37 pm
Yes, as Rush Limbaugh said, feminism was invented to give ugly women access to the mainstream.
December 8th, 2006 at 8:39 am
Harry, with regards to the Anglican church, I came across a document from the Anglican Mission in America that gives some examples of racially separate dioceses, including one for Whites in New Zealand which is complete separate from the Diocese for the Maori, even though they overlap geographically.
A couple interesting things it says there:
So based on the precedents set by the Anglican church, it seems that an appeal for an ethnically separate diocese for our people here would be completely reasonable.
December 8th, 2006 at 9:57 am
Why not let the man who “discovered” the theory of relativity to explain the philosophy of kinism:
“Nations with racial differences appear to have instincts which work against their fusion. The assimilation of the Jews to the European nations among whom lived, in language, in customs, and to some extent even in the forms of religious organization, could not eradicate the feeling of a lack of kinship between them and those among whom they lived. In the last resort, this instinctive feeling of lack of kinship is referable to the law of the conservation of energy. For this reason it cannot be eradicated by any amount of well-meant pressure. Nationalities do not want to be fused: they want to go each its own way. A state of peace can be brought about only if they mutually tolerate and respect one another. This demands above all things that we Jews become once more conscious of our nationality, and regain the self-respect which is necessary to our national existence. We must learn once more to avow our ancestry and our history; we must once more take upon ourselves, as a nation, cultural tasks of a kind calculated to strengthen our feeling of solidarity. It is not sufficient for us to take part as individuals in the cultural work of mankind: we must also set our hands to some work which can serve the ends of our corporate national existence. In this way and in this way only can the Jewish people regain its health.”

I'll say it here, though some will get their panties all in a twist.
May she miscarry, may the illegitimate bastard child conceived in sin- a mockery of God's laws for normal parents- never be born. May her womb be closed forever, and may her seed perish from the face of the earth.
That about sums it up, and falls (I believe) under the heading of “liturgy of malediction” fully in the prophetic mainstream of both CR and OT realities.
have a nice day, y'all.
December 8th, 2006 at 3:18 pm
Hush Bimbo's quote is funny but kosher in the typical “conservative” way. Feminism was invented by kikes to cleave White Women from White Men - sundering what had been a healthy whole. Similar to Civil “Rights”: instead of being the colored man's attempt to empower himself it is Hymie's way of using colored fodder to ruin Whites.
The more we attack people like Doug Phillips as “misogynist” - another Trotskyite label - the more we divide ourselves to our enemy's delight. We already, and correctly, refuse to lend respectability to the term “racist”, at least as a dirty word.
Let's not give the Sheenies any more help to rule us Whites as their cattle.
“No Republican in Washington is more beloved by social conservatives than Vice President Dick Cheney, who with his wife, Lynne, has backed and breathed every issue dear to them for six tumultuous years.”
If that - Cheney being beloved by social conservatives - is true, God help us. Dick Halliburton-”marriage is whatever you want it to be”-bomb the Arabs-CFR Cheney.
A few years ago I actually believed the spin in the “Left Behind” series that conservative Christians opposed the NWO. These folks support it root and twig without even knowing it. Their only beef is which animal is ridden to get there - preferring an elephant to an ass.
Is this some of the fruit of dispensationalism?
December 9th, 2006 at 1:39 am
That's fascinating, Mr. Terrible, but if history is a guide, they'll find some excuse for a double standard when it comes to White churches. I hope not.
That's also a fascinating quote from Reconman, but Einstein is the same Jew who said, “Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.” In other words, what's good for the Jew is not good for Whites. Another double standard, but the quote is a good one if taken out of context.
December 9th, 2006 at 11:01 am
Yes, Harry, that's sort of the point. Throughout even the most celebrated Jews there abides an intrinsic, devious hypocrisy that is justified by their alleged goal of ethnic survival and prominence.
December 10th, 2006 at 11:08 am
Reconman said “Throughout even the most celebrated Jews there abides an intrinsic, devious hypocrisy”
If that is so true then why is Harry so intent on taking up for the epSTEINS?
On this blog we go from “Olasky the Jew” to oh those poor epSTEINS and you want us to do it with a straight face?
I don't get it.
December 10th, 2006 at 1:00 pm
It's fairly simple, H. I believe in justice and in holding pastors to a higher standard than laymen. I see injustice in how this matter was handled, and what the epSTEINS have done or what they believe is beside the point. In a court of law, if the officers of the court are unjust, the case is thrown out, regardless of the guilt of the man on the hotseat. And that's how it should be.
You seem to suggest that the epSTEINS are fair game for abuse because the last part of their name is capitalized, and that strikes me as a rather Jewish attitude.
Since you're close to Doug and Kevin, can you find out when Doug will issue a statement condemning the gossip of confidential information from private meetings? That would go a long way towards changing my opinion of him.
