In What Can Only Be Called, “Ironic”…
Oh where is Alanis now? At some point in the past few days, a post was put up over at CRN that disparages “discernment” ministries for taking pot shots at Ingrid and the crew. Perhaps, my favorite quote is this one
Another example: Bud Press of the Christian Research Service website informed Rev. Ken Silva that if he didn’t stop writing for Slice of Laodicea, (because we were compromised), he would remove his links from his site. Ken refused to be bullied and strong-armed into seeing things Bud’s way and Bud removed his links.
Come on! All one needs to do is read Ken’s gazillion posts about the “heretical SBC” to see that he’s no stranger to his own strong arm tactics. [side note here: Ken, LET IT GO!! The SBC does not tell local churches what to do! end side note] I cannot be the only person who felt this was like Roger Clemons complaining because the other pitcher was throwing too far inside.

Yeah, when I saw that I thought I might have to one of the parody sites by accident. If that ain’t irony I don’t know what is.

Joe,
I almost wrote something about this today, but didn’t have time. It made me think about a man with a plank in his eye being put upon by a man with a tree in his eye, all the while trying to remove the speck from someone else’s eye…
My hope is that maybe they’ll see what it feels like to be on the other end of GBA and cheap straw-man tactics. Sometimes you don’t know how it feels to be oppressed until you experience your own tactics used against you.

Hey Chris,
My jaw literally dropped. How can anyone, anyone… talk her seriously. I work with adult mentally retarded individuals so when I use the term it is never a perjorative. In that context, I can say with all seriousness that my clients are for the most part more grounded in reality than she is.
I of course did parody her here. What is in bold are the only changes.

my html tag webpage reference didn’t work. I am practically an HTML virgin. Her is the direct link. If you have to cut and paste it.

Is the ironic post on CRN gone? I get a 404. Do you think it’s sleeping with the fishes (ICHTUS) along with the entire Slice archive??
