		<description>Down here in Southaven MS, at the other Everson boy&#039;s church, we have been forced to change curriculum in our Sunday School classes from Lifeway (which is fine, I don&#039;t care for Lifeway&#039;s errors and gloss-over of too many subjects).  But guess whose material we are now using?  Wait for it, wait for it...  yes, it&#039;s written by the porn-purveying son, Jarrod.  I would love to know how much we are paying him for his &quot;work&quot;, the many months of lessons on Philippians and stewardship and more soon to come. I dare not ask or risk exposure to Chad&#039;s ire!  (Goes to the salary issues I&#039;ve seen here, Dee/Deb.)

I know that the Lord uses all things for good to His glory.  In spite of that knowledge, I have not felt comfortable in my SS class while reviewing the Bible studies prepared by a pretender.  Chad is very proud of the materials and makes sure we know who wrote them.  Funny, he hasn&#039;t mentioned the porn incident(s).

I have read these blogs for a while and felt like I might only be getting one side of the story (to which we all know there are always at least 3 sides!).  However, when Chad&#039;s only defense is calling Doug a &quot;nut&quot; from the pulpit, it certainly makes Doug&#039;s story believable.  Hard to make up all those details, easy to call someone a nut!  Thanks, Doug, for keeping your story out there for future Chad/Jarrod/Mike parishioners.</description>

		<description>Dee and others;

What happened was, Yeah I caught them in PORN... I also exposed the Music Minister too who was into very deep PORN on the Church&#039;s computer system too along with Jarrod Everson who was Mike Everson&#039;s son. He, David Barker, was the one I was really concerned about because after I did the forensic check on the PC, I turned and  recommended it be turned over to the authorities for prosecution. 

Ok, now that was NOT the main reason for my uproar - but it was a consideration, against these men and concerning their sin issue. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of GOD....What got me was that fact that when it was exposed within our leadership circle, they came to me and told me that they would handle it and that I was to shut up.....They told me to tell anyone who comes to me to send them to them.....

But when many came to me asking questions, I was pounded for telling the truth. They wanted me to lie! They wanted me to allow them to cover it up. They were the Deacons under the Leadership of a Pastor of a Church and the Chairman of the Executive Committee for the Georgia Baptist Convention.

When I exploded is when they came to me and told me they were going to allow David Barker - The Music Minister for Prays Mill at the time - to resign get this &quot;DUE TO HEALTH REASONS&quot;! They were going to lie to my Church and fabricate a story that I knew to be an abomination to Christ Kingdom.

That is when I stood for Christ and his Church and said enough is enough. That is when the battle begun and still rages on....

That is when I got first hand experience dealing with &quot;those in the Baptist Mafia&quot;...and brother it was Hell on Earth...and you want to talk about a battle.....I took on MANY of these men and their Disciples......

And still do.....</description>

		<description>And the blind sheep followed man and went along. Wonder if some of them knew this was directed toward a blogger who was outing porn addiction by one of their leaders sons who was trying to protect his son with this resolution?

One would think he would want his son to repent for eternal life. Boggles the mind that he sets himself up as a teacher of the Word.</description>

    Read this folks....this was the Georgia Baptist Resolution on blogging against Doug in 2007

    Stunning and note the the &quot;Whereas&quot; and &quot;Be IT ALSO RESOLVED&quot; carefully;


    Resolution on Blogging

    Submitted by Rev. Wayne Bray and Rev. William Harrell
    Beulah Baptist Church, Douglasville, GA

    WHEREAS, the American people have the distinct privilege of freedom of speech as provided by our United States Constitution, and this resolution is not intended to limit that freedom of speech we all value so much; and

    WHEREAS responsible blogging can be a means of promoting the flow of information and encouragement of our people, but certain people use this tool for divisive and destructive rhetoric at the expense of peace among the Brethren; and

    WHEREAS blogging is also being used by some as a tool for personal attacks upon other Christian Brothers and Sisters, and this critical and divisive use promotes a negative view of the Southern Baptist Convention in the eyes of the society we are striving to reach with the Gospel (James 3:6,14);

    BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED that the messengers of this convention oppose blogging when it is used to cause division and disharmony among the members of our Southern Baptist Family (Proverbs 6:16-19; I Cor. 1:10); and since personal differences should not be dealt with in public view,

    BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that all personal attacks should cease immediately (Proverbs 17:27­-28; John 17:21-23 ); and

    BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that we reaffirm the historic method of administering our agencies and institutions through elected boards of trustees, and we call upon bloggers to cease the critical second-guessing of these elected leaders; and

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that all Georgia Baptists respectfully request and expect that individuals who disrupt the fellowship through blogging repent and immediately cease this activity and no longer cause disharmony for the advancement of their own personal opinions and agendas; and

    BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that we set our eyes once again on the fields to which we are called to labor, refusing to dishonor God with activities that militate against harmony and good will.


   Can you believe this..... Doug must have really been blasting them......Great job Doug

Ministers or Groups who try to silence truths, WOW</description>

		<description>Sadly, I can attest to the fact that some of these very tactics were used against young men (under 18 years old) in Wonderland.  The lasting impact on the lives of these young men is heartbreaking.</description>
