I’ve finally found something on C?N that I agree with wholeheartedly.

Edit:’
BTW is anyone else disturbed by their total lack of honesty and openness? The anti-Mosaic site has hidden who registered the domain (a feature you have to deliberately select and pay extra for), the link to Nathan’s site isn’t actually a link to Nathan’s site, its a link through a proxy I suppose in some sort of spiteful attempt to deny Nathan the google juice, and its posted anonymously (and cowardly). We haven’t even gotten into New Truth’s denying anyone disagreeing posts to link. And of course you’ve got a total open comment black out across the watchdoggie universe. Its like openness and honesty is their kryptonite.

Edit part 2:
The deception of the watchdoggies continue as after I pointed out they didn’t actually link to Nathan’s site the post was edited to remove the link entirely. Luckily a suspicious reader had screenshotted the post before they did it. Before, and after.

I’m now past the point where I can ascribe any good intentions the watchdoggies. They’re more interested in defending their little fiefdoms than they are in obedience to God.

I am now used to being the poster child for Mosaic at CRN, and all the stereotypes that come along with it. But why must they make unfair and illogical connections with people? Labels seem to be their mode of operation. Here are some quote describing ME

Another example of the hate for proper Biblical Christianity espoused by the Mosaic of Pain spawned by Erwin McManus. Today in the comments section of a blog where he is contributor Nathan Neighbour, one of McManus’ disciples

_______

I provide the following from Nathan Neighbour whose pastor just happens to be lead singer pastor, cultural architect and distinguished futurist Erwin McManus of Mosaic.

Nathan Neighbour whose “pastor” is cultural architect, distinguished furturist and emerging church leader Erwin McManus.

*Gen. Ed. Note* Nathan Neighbour, a disciple of Cultural Architect Erwin McManus of the emerging church Mosiac, has also commented on the poster issue.

I mean, does it make better headlines to add Erwin McManus to my name? I am just a kid from Southern California –but when you add his name to my ideas [POOF!] you have a juicy story. I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, and no one else. I synthesize and formate my ideas without needing to consult a man. I am a free thinker, not a robot who spews out ideas from an author, a friend, a pastor or a Christian icon.

Labels, labels, labels. Emergent, Emerging, Purpose Driven, Seeker Sensitive, Man Loving, Reformed, Heretic, Orthodox, Mystic, Traditional, Fundamentalist, Apostate. If you don’t fit into one of those categories, then they SHOVE you into one. Why can’t I just be? Why do I have to be the emerging disciple of Erwin McManus? I think this is the issue here. We need to ditch the labels and just judge people for who they are (if we must judge). Or maybe the labels just make for more web hits.

Perhaps Ingrid just doesn’t know about Dan Kimball’s father passing away on Sunday, but I found this piece to be in incredibly poor taste.  I would think she would have some clue about what’s been happening in Dan Kimball’s life since Mike Corley pointed it out on a blog on which Ingrid is listed as a contributor.   Even politicians show some common courtesy to one another at the death of a family member.

Besides the fact that Ingrid is unable to restrain herself from attacking someone who is going through a trying personal situation, the content of her attack is the standard “guilt-by-association” attack.  Brian McClaren wrote the Foreword to Kimball’s book, The Emerging Church, so that makes Dan Kimball somehow responsible for McClaren speaking at a gay church over four years later.  Once again, simply arguing on the actual content of a book seems too much for the ODM’s.
