Re: Interesting Article from a Conservative Aposto
I was quoted in the blog, as one of the ones defending Brother Graham.
In fairness, there were many men who stepped up to the plate from CAF and took strong exception to the slicing and dicing of a good man and great preacher.
I was one.
The man who posted the blog was unethical, but he was also very foolish and unconcerned with how Brother Graham and his family might feel.
Those of us who know him never mentioned the thread on CAF to him, hoping he never heard about it.
But once the blog came out, someone was "thoughtful" enough to email him the link.
Very, very sad.

Indeed sad. I had no doubt at all that there were some there that would defend him - thanks for stepping up to the plate!

He was defended vigorously I do NOT understand the mentality of someone who would post this on this forum knowing his family was here to hurt them and then send him the postings to hurt him. Evidently they like to see people hurt.

I think it was more about wanting to expose the ministers that were talking bad about him, but I do understand what you are saying.
The way the www is I doubt it would have been kept a secret forever.

I think you are right.
But can you imagine what a skewed and sick mentality wants to "expose the evil Pharisees" so bad that they don't care how they hurt SG and his family?
Not exactly a noble cause, if you ask me, even though the so-called "exposing Pharisees" act is really popular with the masses.
And then there is the ethical issue. If a man's word is no good, neither is the man.

CAF is closed forum period. The men who disagree with him certainly would have NO problem telling him. Again I do not know SG and don't have a dog in this fight but to post this to hurt him and his family is curious to me. However it did bring his family out to his defence which is a good thing since y'all no longer believe what he preaches. Maybe your roots are calling you back?

Scott and I have been in communication about this whole thing. He was honestly hoping that I wouldn't even see it, since I was in Africa. He knows I will always defend him; he's my baby brother! Not that he needs defending; he's pretty secure in his own skin.
I definitely think someone was out to hurt the whole family, but not sure why. Very curious to me too.
Re: Interesting Article from a Conservative Aposto
I choose not to read the article. As I mention before. No good things come from someone who signs their name "concerned". I would be the first to call that person a liar. That person is no more concerned about the situation than the men of Sodom wanting to have a conversation with the men at Lot's house.
The people who do this junk are under demonic influence. To attempt to publicly sabatoge a man's ministry is beyond reprehensible. I hope there is a Holy Ghost hollow point with that "concerned" person's name on it.

Agreed, Elder.
Unbelievable.

That was my point too elder.... (I called that person an idiot and almost got an infraction)
I dont understeand the mentality of men of God who would attack a fellow preacher like that either. We both know those doing so have preached sermons about not attacking ministry.
