An Exchange Regarding the Hirner Case

One thing to like about many IFB-KJVO preachers: They are really stupid. Today a poster by the name of Cletus (I assume he named himself after the Simpson's character) commented regarding the Hirner case. When I asked for info about allegations in the Hirner case at LBT, Baldpate (a member of the church staff at Nepotism-R-Us Baptist Church; oh wait, I mean Pinellas Park Baptist Temple. No wait, since the Dave Hyles fiasco, they've renamed it Crosspointe Baptist Church) had to speak up and vent his anger and venom at me. Great. Like we didn't have enough evidence of the contents of the hearts and minds of the leadership at that church (whatever name you call it). Against the advice and warnings of others and in the face of the witness of two books and a news documentary, they hired a serial adulterer on to church staff. And then when he behaved as a serial adulterer, they got him out through a back door. And now they say they did no wrong.

Does it bother you LBT members?

That your pastor looked into the cameras and lied through his teeth on the 6:00 news last night?
Sincerely,
Cletus

Can you be more specific?

I didn't see it. What did he say and how did he lie? If you've got evidence, I'll document it in my blog.

So are you recruiting Hirner to work for you?

I hear that Pinellas Park Baptist Church has an opening on staff. And all the culprit has to do to prove he's repented is write a letter of apology!

While it's clear that you and your type want gross sins covered and hidden under the rug, the necessity to document and provide evidence to the Body of Christ is clear. Granted, Baldpate, it makes you look both corrupt and stupid when matters of gross incompetence and corruption in the pulpit become public, but the truth will out eventually.

I forgot that rather than change your ways and amend your hearts, you just changed the name of your church.

right... that is exaclty how it went down. And you know because you were right there in the middle of it the whole time. LOL!

BASS, a couple of months ago when you posted all that stuff about IFB being a breeding ground for immorality my brother made you look like a buffoon! You had to run to your doctors and get more meds and then crawl into a hole. YOU DISAPPEARED! now your peaking your pathetic head out of that hole of yours and quite frankly, it's scarring the people of the forum. You should be ashamed of yourself!

Well it's pretty clear that Christian Farris (Baldpate) resents evidence of wrong doing in the pulpit being made public. Say, do you think he's worried about something? Or guilty? But the best part about Christian Farris, once you get past the misspellings and exceptional level of venom he ejects over a request for documentation, is that as he is in the very act of demonstrating that he is unfit to hold church office by railing against a person, he also takes the trouble to sign his posts with his name and the office that he currently holds.

No doubt Christian is very, very proud to hold church office (Lately, the battle cry of some fundies has not been "Souls for Jesus!" as it once was but, rather, "Hey, thanks Dad!").

I'm not sure how long normal people will put up with him in church office. But he provides a handy bit of evidence of the thinking of IFB-KJVO culture: ignorance, wrath, defensiveness, and name calling. By the way, I think the posts he refers to from Jonathan are the series I posted in which I explained biblical church discipline to Jonathan Farris. Or was it the series when Jonathan Farris blamed me for Dave's success at Pinellas Park? It's hard to recall exactly what it was. These Farris boys write volumes to excuse themselves from their responsibilities. And no, I'm not on any meds. I don't take perscription drugs and haven't in about 15 years. ¶ 2:38 PM
