Tom,
I'm curious -- how did my version of the story differ with the Spokesman =
Review? I don't take that paper.=20
Best,
Dale

I assume that the Dougster will be demanding a retraction from the =
Spokesman Review then, since your version differs considerably from =
theres, Mr. Courtney.

Rose,
Hate to burst your bubble; but those people who were shouting were =
not Christ Church members. It was all video taped. One man in the =
back-center of the auditorium shouted for her to "sit down and shut up". =
Mrs. Stoneman asked "are you a Christ Church member" and he yelled "no!" =
Then that same man got up, walked down to the front, and escorted her =
out. He was an older gentleman; unlikely he is a bouncer (though he may =
have been one 40 years ago).=20
When she further said "the public wants to know!", another non-CC =
man from the middle left said "we are the public! Sit down and shut up!" =
=20
Feel free to verify this with anyone who was there -- or you can =
check the video.
What Mrs. Stoneman needs is our prayers, support, and sympathy. =
She's been thru hell (read thru all the articles over at =
http://www.valuachild.com/ to see what she and her children have been =
thru).=20
And, yes, I wish you had been there too. It would have been nice to =
meet you and Don at last.
Best,
Dale

Dear Visionaries,
=20
Although I sent one of the earliest =E2=80=9CThanks but no =
thanks=E2=80=9D posts to Doug=E2=80=99s invitation to attend his =
=E2=80=9CTown Meeting,=E2=80=9D I am now deeply sorry I didn=E2=80=99t =
make the effort. (and a giant penance it would have been.) to attend. =
Others had told me that a woman was escorted out of the meeting amid =
shouts of =E2=80=9CShut Up and =E2=80=9CSit Down=E2=80=9D Thanks to =
Ruth=E2=80=99s email I have a clearer sense of the events.
=20
Anyone who sat silently with their ass glued to their seat while =
the shouting and escorting out was taking place shouldn=E2=80=99t =
shrink, in my opinion, from placing their collective bums on folding =
chairs in the Logos gym every Sunday morning while Doug channels his =
weekly sermon from R.L. Dabney. (Be sure to bring your wallets and =
pocket books for the offering.) In your silent assent you were =
cooperating/supporting the racist, sexist, homophobic, patriarchal =
agenda of Christ Church (pastor and communicants), or even more =
pathetically, falling prey to Doug=E2=80=99s purported charisma. Shame =
to you! You were handed a classic example of how dissent is silenced =
and yet, there you sat, either unwilling or unable to protest =E2=80=93 =
failing to get up and walk out yourself. It is my hope that none of you =
excuse your inaction under the ruse of not knowing how to respond to an =
awkward social situation, or wanting to avoid public embarrassment. That =
is pure baloney. Spineless is the kindest descriptions that comes to my =
mind =E2=80=93 closely followed by the term limousine liberal. And God =
knows, there have always been a plethora of those folks in university =
towns. YIKES!!!=20
=20
Rose Huskey
=20
And what=E2=80=99s with the bouncer stuff =E2=80=93 Doug traveling =
with his private security squad these days? Talk about delusional =
grandiosity. I=E2=80=99ll be on the look for the stretch limo next.
