Will Mr. Dean join the pile of bodies under the Mars Hill bus about which the Rev. Driscoll bragged:

"I'm all about blessed subtraction. There is a pile of dead bodies under the Mars Hill bus [chuckles] and by God's grace it'll be a mountain by the time we're done. You either get on the bus or get run over by the bus. Those are the two options. But the bus ain't gonna stop."

It's seems you are taking the comments on this thread really personally, and I don't know why that is, but I'm going to offer up that anyone who visits slog and has expectations that Mars Hill Church in Seattle is going to be treated with warmth or kid gloves (or with anything other than mockery) is a person who is setting his or herself up for huge disappointment. And in this case Mars Hill has just- maybe with all the good intentions in the world, who knows (you are right, everything that Mars Hill has put out in the public forum has convinced me that there is nothing in that church for the likes of me)- set itself up for that kind of mockery.


Posted by Kumquat]]> Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:55:35 -0800 The Stranger I'd really like to sit down and pick through all of your (yes, you judgmental commenters of this article) lives and find the false fronts and lies you all put out to your friends and family to make you look noble and good and then write an article about it where hundreds of hypocrites comment on how horrible you are.

Come on over. Seriously.

I will stand by my life, how I conduct myself, how I treat people, and what I believe (and don't believe) any day of the week.

I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I am 100% confident that any examination of my life would find it rather consistent with the values I profess.

Perhaps in large part because I don't let those values be dictated to me by (say) a dogmatic egomaniac with a bizarre preoccupation with masculinity.

MH may be opposite Westboro in some ways: as vile and crazy as Westboro is, at least Shirley Phelps, a woman, not a girl, is the public face of it. Who is MH's public face? Marcia Driscoll? Mary Driscoll? K'Nesha Driscoll?

Glad you could take time out of licking your lord-and-master's boots and shoveling his paycheck into Mars Hill's coffers to share your thoughts.

Seriously?

You latch onto the back of any negative article and spew out your toxic comments. Do any of YOU do volunteer work or give back to any community? No one said Mars Hill is full of perfect people. No MH BANS anyone from the gay and lesbian communities.

The judgmental comments irritate me SO freaking much. Back off people. Do something for someone else today. Buy someone coffee. Ask how someone is doing. Volunteer. ANYTHING except unleash horrible comments.

And comparing Mars HIll to Westboro? That is a new low. MH is the complete opposite of Westboro. But....you all wouldn't know because you're throwing out accusations before visiting the church or reading their "what we believe in."

Grow up.

Hateful Charismatic groups that punish their gay members are probably inappropriate, even if it ~would~ give them more experience. I just don't think it should be at the expense of the ill and dying.
