Say, isn't Chester Wright the same guy who wrote the article in favor of television ads last year?
Isn't he the one that The Borg villified?
Isn't Chester Wright last year's whipping boy?
I guess Amos and his crew just need a new whipping boy.
This year it's Mark Johnston.
At some point we need to recognize Amos' tactics for what they are. His tactic are divisive, destructive political assassinations of other members of the body of Christ who express minute differences of opinion from "Ole Time Pennycost."
I wonder at this.
I am amazed at this.
I do not pretend to understand this.
But I have watched Amos and his posse for two years now, and they never change.

A few clarifications and comments...
I am absolutely unashamedly a part of the Borg I guess, if you define the Borg as those who are concerned about doctrine and separation, or "Old Time Pennycost" as you term it.
Bear in mind that when you speak of "Old Time Pennycost" you are talking about my mama. And yours, though you seem to be embarassed by her. While that doesn't make me angry, it does make me sad for your sake. That must be very hard.
As for MJ, I could make more specific comments about things that I disagree with, but I choose not to in this venue. I would rather accept your accusations of vagueness than violate confidences and personal standards of conduct.
Now on to Chester Wright.
He and I may not see eye to eye on the tv issue, but I challenge you to do a search and find a single word I have written anywhere that villifies him. I know him personally. He is a friend. He is a lover of Truth, and dead solid on this message that I love.
"The Borg" may have villified him, but I don't exactly walk in lockstep with any one clique, or allow any little Pentecostal special interest group to tell me who I can be friends with. Because of this, I often get shot at by both sides.
I preach for men that would be considered liberals, and they are my friends. It makes me no difference who likes that or who doesn't.
I do have this little quirk called loyalty. I am loyal to the Message and to my friends, and I have a hard time keeping quiet when either one is attacked.
So there you have it.
