And those 47 pages, plus the hundreds of posts on the previous versions of this site, define a HACker. You are welcome.

I'm not a she. So you might not know what I am famous for either.

Of course, the flip side of this is that the SBC population is naturally more loving and compassionate, willing to forgive failures and more accepting of sin in general.

My initial thoughts were along these lines: - MOG syndrome means I see the preacher as a source of God for me - Many of these most bitter did not know how to have a relationship with God outside of the MOG - IFB is built on us against them and that mentality stays only the "them" is now...

So your premise is that in the IFB, people have held up the Preacher as a god and therefore the fallout brings more anger?

of course, not just the IFB has these issues with sexual scandal. But why do other denominations respond with sorrow and hopes for restoration while the IFB responds with hatred, bitterness, vitriol and an abandonment of the faith? Because JH was what? No. Never proven, but oft articulated...

Of course! Like I said, we are all still in ministry... Marriage is an institution founded by God. Therefore, adhering to His principles concerning marriage makes for an enduring marriage.

Steven Lawson was just removed as pastor of Trinity Bible Church (a megachurch) in Dallas. He was a Fellow at Ligonier Ministries, Professor of Preaching and Dean of Doctor of Ministry at The Master's Seminary, Executive Editor of Expositor magazine, on the board of Master's University and...

All of my roommates are still married to their college sweethearts and still in ministry from oh, so long ago. There were many good things about HAC and many good HACkers who weren't really HACkers.

Watching a guy absolutely go berserk when he got busted for kissing his girl. "Why would you turn me in!?!" he screamed at the snitch in front of a crowd. "I CAN'T AFFORD THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!" I thought: Man, what are you telling your girlfriend? When I got busted, I told the teacher who was...

When the dorm supe called me in to his room to tell me about a fist fight that had broken out on the floor between various ministry participants over a sermon that had been preached. Me: Why do I care? Him: Well, don't you want to know all about it? Me: I don't really care? Him: But, Which side...

When my roommate walked into the room, flopped down on his bed and said: "Man, the way Bobby can dance is incredible. What he does with a vacuum is just... mmm." Then he got under the covers and rolled over. We just gave him his privacy, not knowing how else to respond. *Bobby was not the...

lots of churches still do bus ministry. It is most prevalent in IFB churches, but plenty of other churches provide transportation for people to and from church. Also, many after-school businesses run bus ministries to bring kids to their care programs (karate, etc). Don't forget the plethora...

Methinks the newbie coverbd doth not yet comprehend the sarcasm and witful jest historically attributed to this site. Reminds me of a bus kid's understanding of doctrine... I bet the poor guy never even got a pickle in his lunch with the ends bit off...

I have no clue as to your experience... But all of my responses are accurate to my experience.

If your frustration with a person causes you to walk away from "the faith," you were worshipping the wrong god anyway. Sexual abuse is a problem within society as a whole and it sometimes shows up in a church setting. This does not mean church is evil. This means that sometimes sin shows up...

I would respond, but the font uses the wrong number style.

So... They are out of stories and losing viewers and needing to do something to create a buzz to get clicks to get money. People who really suffered abuse, aren't quite so jovial and talkative about something they are discussing for the first time. Watch the body language - Inventing...

Good post!

We have Pew Bibles in our church. I tell folks what page to turn to in their pew Bible.
