"...and walk in love with those in the Capitol Hill area, and beyond, who are affected by these chronic conditions." Gotta applaud that passive-aggressive, abusive use of the word "love."

Does my heart good to see our spiritual discourse in the hands of cult leaders like Driscoll and Warren, if by "good" you mean "gives me cardiac gangrene."

David and Stephanie Drury are the coolest celebrity couple since Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer.

Oh yeah, and this? "I dont see any bible verses backing up your article in your disagreements." Facepalm, headdesk, and ROFLMAO.

"An email alert must have been sent out from Mars Hill." Knat, they probably did that or posted a memo on The City, which is where I suspect a lot of MHers got their info about Andrew being a "predator."

For the record, I created a profile here simply so I could refute this cult. Church. No, cult.

@53 - and if you haven't developed the emotional skills necessary to resist the control of people like Driscoll, what then? If you grow up in an abusive environment, quite often you don't learn to resist the siren song, and you end up at controlling places like Mars Hill.

I know not everyone who was abused as a kid grows up to repeat their childhoods. Some see through it and break free relatively early. But for those of us who don't, and who are still struggling, it's not as easy as it sounds.

#41, I suspect The Stranger is "so obsessed with Mars Hill" because it's an authoritarian, cultic institution that preaches a sexist, homophobic doctrine and tries to intimidate its members into signing discipline contracts. Of course, what do I know - I'm a hateful non-believer.
