Comments on: Pastor Jamie Munson: The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From the Tree… http://prayingheart.wordpress.com/2008/02/01/pastor-jamie-munson-the-apple-doesnt-fall-far-from-the-tree/ Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:17:11 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Stan http://prayingheart.wordpress.com/2008/02/01/pastor-jamie-munson-the-apple-doesnt-fall-far-from-the-tree/#comment-61 Stan Fri, 01 Feb 2008 17:16:34 +0000 http://prayingheart.wordpress.com/?p=30#comment-61 Looking at the name for this blog and the actions of the elders in general and Jamie in particular I'm reminded of the passage in Micah (v 6:8) - "He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly, and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." They have show trials reminescent of a charicature of communism - the antithesis of acting justly, they hound and bully rather than show mercy and they are arrogant in position and manner.

No kidding. And all of Munson's writings on these topics have had more spin than a Kansas tornado! He is better at the revisionist history than Driscoll could ever dream of being. “it’s that they weren’t answered on purpose.” No kidding.

Before the new bylaws were voted on or revealed I had requested via e-mail to Jamie and two other elders, as a member, to get a copy of the then current (now old) bylaws. After three days of no answer to what would seem to be a simple request I spoke in person to one of the elders asking the status of my request and he said he was still waiting to hear from Jamie... well if it was church policy that the bylaws were readily available - why was it hung-up waiting on an "ok" from Jamie? Clearly, if two elders did not feel they had the authority to forward copies of the bylaws then they were in lock-down. There are many other examples of non-answer answers and questions ignored altogether but the point of this post is not so much that questions weren't answered - it's that they weren't answered on purpose.
