confession of exaggerations and ask for people to forgive him, and then move on. Instead it seems the approach is
to take pot shots here and there at his critics, paint himself as a victim of frustrated bloggers out to "take him
down", to continue to use congregations and speaking engagements to defend himself, and mischaracterize what
happend this year. Perhaps he has every intention of still telling his stories - after all, yesterday at Bristol he rolled
out the 'ole "Jesus died on a cross so I didn't have to strap a bomb on myself" routine. ... All I had to do was go
through 0.75 hours, Ergun, when you came to First Baptist Jacksonville in November 2001, and lied to us about
your past to convince us that you were a trained terrorist who was in Islamic Jihad, trained in Europe. That has
nothing to do with your kids' names or dates. It has to do with you misleading us about your past, and who you
were, which helped to create a caricature of yourself as a former terrorist trained in Europe in Islamic Jihad. And
you still haven't apologized to the people of First Baptist Jacksonville for your lies in our pulpit in 2001 that helped
launch you to SBC-stardom. I hope you have at least privately apologized to Jerry Vines, who sat behind you
nodding and amening as you lied to our congregation that morning. And Ergun, you're wrong about other pastors.
None of my pastors - none of them - have ever lied to me about where they were raised, or born, or when they
learned English, etc. None, not one, ever. Pastors, I hope you appreciate Caner trying to lump you all into one
category as being liars just waiting for disgruntled bloggers to dig up your lies. Sad that to defend himself, he is
content in dragging his cohorts down to his level. Shame on you, Ergun.
Purpose Drivel [Pastor Rick Warren - Unhinged]: Rick Warren takes
public [Twitter] swipe at his critics and NAMES NAMES - Rick Warren
has shown his true colors this morning [Friday 10/08/2010], taking a
swipe at Ken Silva, Ingrid Schlueter, and *Chris Rosebrough all in one
fell tweet
Rick Warren has shown his true colors this morning, taking a swipe at Ken Silva, Ingrid Schlueter, and Chris
Rosebrough all in one fell tweet (retweeted supposedly from one of his supporters, who uses the fake
"ApprisingMin") Apprising Min is a moniker that is used to try and mock and discredit Ken Silva. This is much like
when Richard Abanes, former music ministry member at Saddleback, and un-official ankle biter for Rick, created a
parody site for Ingrid's Slice of Laodicea blog, calling it Slice of Laodicea Church. He even made it look almost
exactly like hers. Don't any of these people have an original idea? ... Rick has protected his tweets but if you go to
his main page you can scroll back and find it, at least until he becomes embarrassed enough to delete it. The time
stamp is approximately 10-7-2010 about 3:30pm give or take. (estimating from the '19 hours ago' that currently
shows on the twitter feed as I write this). Even I must admit, attacking those who would call you to repentance in
140 characters or less takes some talent and creativity and innovation. But Rick tops them all by managing to attack
THREE of his critics at once within the Twitter parameters! I think that must deserve a trophy of some sort to put in
his umpty thousand book library. Since he is so keen on mentioning all his good works in every public appearance
(his tithing is now up to 91 percent, I'll have you know!), ...Hmm... that reminds me also of this tweet: But I digress.
... At the very least, I pray something of the truth is finally getting through to him and cracking that self righteous
facade.
