A DECISION, PREACHER'S CHOICE: Missouri Baptist Convention Investigative Committee or THE JUBILEE COMMISSION

A DECISION, PREACHERS' CHOICE:
Missouri Baptist Convention Investigative Committee
or THE JUBILEE COMMISSION

____________________________

UPDATE: 11:20 am SUNDAY: Yes, we are aware that Dr. Ray Leinginger is on a mission trip in Russia today. Dr. Leininger's physical presence in Bolivar is not necessary in order to make the choice, nor for the commencement of either the MBC Investigative Committee or THE JUBILEE COMMISSION.

____________________________

Marie will leave the decision to the preachers of First Baptist Church of Bolivar, Missouri.

Rev. Billy Russell, Dr. Rodney Reeves, Dr. Ray Leininger, and Dr. Harlan Spurgeon will be asked to make a choice -- a choice which will require immediate action, personal investment and sacrifice on their parts.

THE CHOICE: a Missouri Baptist Convention Investigative Committee or THE JUBILEE COMMISSION, which will it be?

Marie will outline both choices in a letter to be posted between SUNDAY, October 25, 2009 and WEDNESDAY, October 28, 2009 (see here), to be followed shortly by the introductory complaint to Southwest Baptist University's accreditation agency.

Satanic Miracles: Twenty-One Years of "Christian" Hatred, Apathy and Deceit at Southwest Baptist University

Satanic Miracles:
Twenty-One Years of "Christian" Hatred, Apathy and Deceit
at Southwest Baptist University

We pause to mark this moment on September 26, 2009.

As of noon today, this is the 21st (yes, twenty-first) year since Marie O'Hara was poisoned with illegally-applied organophospate pesticides (and their solvents), while attending Dr. Roslyn Snellen's Anatomy and Physiology class at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri.

In all of those years no church or Christian organization has ever stepped forward to assist Marie -- in spite of numerous requests to over one hundred churches and organizations.

In fact, many local churches and church organizations -- to this day -- strenuously (and illegally) resist any effort aimed at obtaining asssistance for her.

For details on this, scroll (far) down to see:

Satan must be proud of those who minister his truth and serve his spirit.

We will be launching a new site shortly.

Inciting Christian Terrorism: How Southwest Baptist University and the Missouri Baptist Convention Turned Law-Abiding Church-Goers into Criminals

Inciting Christian Terrorism:
How Southwest Baptist University and
the Missouri Baptist Convention Turned
Law-Abiding Church-Goers into Criminals

But ... some are asking ... "How could all this happen?"

How could kind and caring, church-going Christians at Southwest Baptist University, in Bolivar and within the Missouri Baptist Convention be converted into little more than merciless terrorists, willing to inflict suffering and harm -- and even commit crimes -- against a student and dozens of other innocents, who were swept (against their wills) into this nasty intrigue?

It wasn't an accident: These individuals were skillfully and deceptively "created," manipulated by the Southwest Baptist University governance and legal team.

They were psychologically, emotionally and spiritually engineered for the specific purpose of becoming a "civilian shield," which was used to conceal the illegal conduct of Southwest Baptist University officials.

How was this accomplished?: By implementing the same psychological methods employed by others intent on inciting terrorism ... and terrorists.

In discussion the formation of terroristic ideologies in individuals (such as the 911 terrorists), author Thomas G. Plante in his textbook CONTEMPORARY CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY defines "five dangerous ideas" that create, in otherwise harmless people, the mind-set necessary for the formation of terroristic ideation.

As Thomas Plante explains (this quotation is enumerated and reformatted for Internet presentation):

For example, Eidelson and Eidelson (2003) have examined research that propels groups toward conflict and violence that have many useful implications for understanding and hopefully preventing terrorism.

They have highlighted five “dangerous ideas [that include] superiority, injustice, vulnerability, distrust, and helplessness” (p. 182) that act as risk factors for conflict and violence.

1. Superiority

Superiority refers to the belief and conviction that a person or group is better than everyone else in a variety of important ways. For example, someone might believe that they (or their group) are the only ones who have a clear understanding of God’s will and plan. This belief has certainly caused wars, terrorism, mass killings, and so forth for thousands of year. This perspective is rather narcissistic in that someone or a group believes that they have some special information, entitlement, or gifts that others do not have or can’t have access to obtain.

2. Injustice

Injustice and victimization refer to the belief that the person or group has been badly mistreated by specific others or the world in general. Although injustice and victimization have been common human experiences since the dawn of time, this perspective can lead (and has) to retaliatory acts and rage against others.

3. Vulnerability

Vulnerability refers to the notion that a person or group is highly likely to experience danger or further victimization and that hypervigilance and preemptive acts are needed to reduce the risk of further harm.

4. Distrust

Distrust refers to the belief that very few people can be trusted and that only the inner circle of true believers can be considered appropriate and trustworthy group members. This point of view leads to paranoia and potential misunderstandings attributing benign others as hostile and malevolent.

5. Helplessness

Finally, helplessness refers to feelings of powerlessness and dependency that often becomes overly pessimistic and negative. This perspective can lead to extreme measures to help feel more in control and more powerful.

These five dangerous beliefs can be applied to the actions of many conflicts between nations and peoples as well as to the terrorism experienced in America on September 11, 2001, and elsewhere.

CONTEMPORARY CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY (2nd edition) by Thomas G. Plante and published by John Wiley and Sons (2004), pages 13 -14.

Early on, Marie recognized that more than a few individuals were literally bullied, deceived or tricked (in varying degrees) into participation in these schemes. Therefore, she sought to resolve the matter privately and internally, showing wisdom and mercy.

Still, the culprits hide and will not come out to bear responsibility for what they have done. As a result of this immaturity and cowardice, many others -- believers and non-believers -- will suffer.

What more can be done? Justice demands accountability.

MURDER AS SACRAMENT: How to Molest and Kill a Southwest Baptist University Student with the Aid of the Missouri Baptist & Southern Baptist Conventions

MURDER AS SACRAMENT:
How to Molest and Kill a
Southwest Baptist University Student
with the Aid of the Missouri Baptist
and Southern Baptist Conventions

WE NEED TO CALL IT WHAT IT IS.

This was and remains molestation, fraud, forgery, obstruction of justice, vile slander, conspiracy ... and attempted murder -- accomplished with the participation of some score of the Southwest Baptist University administration, faculty, staff and supporters, the pastoral staff, deacons and some members of the First Baptist Church of Bolivar, as well as the full authorization of the leadership of the Missouri Baptist Convention, which was strongly influenced by the Southern Baptist Convention.

There is no way to "Christian candy coat" what has happened (and is happening) here.

A university that would allow such prolonged injustice and violence against a student doesn't deserve to be a university, never mind claim to be a Christian institution of higher learning.

Whatever mechanisms of governance and "leadership" allowed such outrages need to change ... and NOW.

The RECONSTRUCTIVE JUSTICE PROJECT, while seeking to obtain some small justice for Marie O'Hara, will seek ultimately to change the obscene arrogance and breath-taking apathy and lack of compassion, which pervades Southwest Baptist University and -- to an extent -- the entire Missouri Baptist and Southern Baptist Conventions.

A PRESS RELEASE will accompany the opening of The RECONSTRUCTIVE JUSTICE PROJECT and the campaign, both will appear shortly, linked to this site.

Preliminary media contacts have already begun.

Crimes of the Heart and Returning to the Scene: Dr. Mark Brister, Former Pastor of FBC-Bolivar, Will Speak at FBC-Bolivar 150 Anniversary Today

Crimes of the Heart and
Returning to the Scene of the Crime:
Dr. Mark Brister,
Former Pastor of First Baptist Church of Bolivar,
Will Speak at FBC-Bolivar 150 Anniversary Today

Want to see something amusing today?

Go to the First Baptist Church of Bolivar's 150th Anniversary this afternoon and ask the former pastor, Dr. Mark Brister (wiki), about the known molesters, adulterers and child abusers, which he had the pleasure of shepherding while pastor at FBC-Bolivar and while working with Southwest Baptist University.

He will, no doubt, answer you (in his most self-important clerical tones) that these are private matters of "pastoral privilege and confidentiality" -- even if you remind him that several of these names now grace the buildings of certain "Christian institutions" in the area.

However, ask the same question about a women, virtually any unmarried woman, and you will be astounded by the transformation, as a torrent of sneering innuendos, informed by nothing more than his own gynophobia and sexual fantasies, come spewing from him.

Better yet: Question him about the sacredness of friendships (especially, as in the Celtic tradition, anamcharas or "friends of the soul").

He will explain to you (probably with Bible references) that friendship with members of the same sex constitute "unhealthy and unnatural obsession."

He will clarify that business relationships are "necessary" for men (we assume this includes such "businesses" as church fellowhips, watching football and fishing).

However, he will distinguish the "especially dangerous" nature of a women's friendships, which "diminish" a woman by detracting from the only relationship of concern to a "normal" women -- her ability to please her husband and serve her children.

He will expound that it is "unnatural" for a woman to sorrow over lost friendships -- even if the woman had just lost the companionship and fellowship of over a dozen good friends and classmates (as well as that of her parents, sisters and former church mates), due to the brutal slanders of administrators at Southwest Baptist University, as was the case for Marie, then 21, when she asked him this question.

At least, this is what he told Marie then ... which he promptly followed by the advice that Marie's unhappiness was due -- not to the grief over the lose of her relationship with friends, family and classmates resulting from these slanderous abuses -- but because Marie's unwillingness to "submit" herself to "male authority," as she was the "weaker vessel" and needed "the lordship, control and guidance of a husband."

He added that, in order to regain God's approval and blessing, she must marry as soon as possible, since additional eduction in graduate school was "not necessary" for a woman to complete her obligations to God and her family.

Inquiry of Dr. Mark Brister about the procedure for dealing with misconduct by "male authorities" in Christian churches and institutions (such as SBU) and he will explain that unethical, immoral or criminal acts committed by "Christian organizations" must be concealed "for the sake of the public good."

He will add, in a hushed threat, that anyone who seeks to disclose such misconduct by SBU officials is "sowing discord among the brethren," acting against God and the Holy Spirit and is, most likely, under"demonic control."

Therefore, that person must be stopped "in any way possible, even if the methods used are unethical, immoral or illegal.

For the "good of Christ," he will explain. Yes, "for the Cross" that person must be stopped.

At least, that is what Marie was told when she questioned him on the misconduct of Southwest Baptist University officials -- virtually all of whom where members (in positions of leadership at First Baptist Church of Bolivar (see previous article and additional information).

Even today, the strategy has not changed: Alienate. Humiliate. Isolate ... Steal. Kill and Destroy. For Christ. For the Cross. For the Kingdom.

That's the way it is done.

Ask Mark Brister, today.

He is speaking at First Baptist Church of Bolivar this afternoon at 1:00 pm on the "white house" grounds.

And ask Missouri Baptist Convention Executive Director (and former Southwest Baptist University Trustee), Dr. David Tolliver, who will also be there today.

Give a holler as well to former First Baptist Church of Bolivar member, former Southwest Baptist University President ... and SBU Trustee when Marie was poisoned, Congressman Roy Blunt.

Spiritual Rape as Worship: Dirty Little Men, Dirty Little Lies, and Phallocentric Religion at Southwest Baptist University

Spiritual Rape as Worship:
Dirty Little Men, Dirty Little Lies and
Phallocentric (definition) Religion
at Southwest Baptist University

The negotiations have failed.

There will be no Restorative Justice Process.

This morning, Marie writes:

I woke this morning from a dream, a memory of my freshman year: a Southwest Baptist University administrator coming up behind me and thrusting himself (apparently fully erect) against me, wrapping his arms around me, and whispering in a husky, mocking voice, "Just loving you with the love of Jesus."

Along with several other students, I had just given a report to an SBU administrator of this man's earlier (and repeated) advances. In my naivety, I was certain -- even confident -- that whatever "misunderstanding" there had been, this would now stop.

Though I didn't know it then, there would be no action taken against him. Instead the action would be taken against me.

Several days later, this "loving" administrator demanded that I be reassigned as his work-study "secretary,"

When I refused, I was forced to resign my work-study position, due to "insubordination."

However, as I was now out of his reach, the first administrator recruited a second administrator (and others) to assist in the molestation, all the while assuring my parents that they were "helping" me with my "shyness and inability to show normal affection."

I was, in his words to me, "so obviously sexually troubled and unable to show proper submission to a man."

This first administrator eventually left SBU, following allegations of incest.

The second administrator, however, took an entirely different tactic: he insisted on sitting on his desk with his legs spread in full erection, while savaging through an explicit listing of sexual sins that I, according to his "sources," had supposedly committed that week.

As I sat weeping and trembling (which he claimed was an admission of my "shame and guilt"), he shoved his crotch within inches from my face.

My declarations of innocence delighted him, as he explained with scriptural citations and exaggerated patience that, due to their inferior, fallen natures, all woman are whores and that woman -- especially intelligent woman -- must be constantly watched by "righteous" men.

He then began demanding (on several occasions) that I provide sexual information on my classmates, particularly those who had been molested as children, threatening expulsion if I refused. When I did refuse, he was red-faced with fury, although he could find no legitimate excuse to expel me.

During my sophomore year, however, he sought such an excuse, as my heartbroken parents were told that -- due to my "promiscuity" -- I would require testing for venereal disease (and to prove my virginity) before I could return to the university following the Christmas break.

Humiliated and stunned, I submitted to the testing, though, because of my virginity, the full procedure could not be completed.

When my parents reported the test results to him, the administrator began to circulate (as a representative of the university) a series of the vicious slanders to my friends, faculty, family and employers that I was "unworthy to teach or work in the ministry," because he had information that I had been a prostitute -- who specialized in oral sex.

Later, his story evolved. He claimed that I had an abortion and/or had borne a child through this prostitution and that I had participated in a drunken, barroom brawl and knifed a man in Springfield. As time progressed, his wicked contrivances became even more bizarre.

When several individuals started questioning his motives, accordingly to another student, the administrator told several athletes that if they could caught me alone, I could be raped with no fear of civil consequences ( it would be deemed "consensual sex"). This was in order to instruct me in "how to cooperate" and "to properly submit to men."

Since then, I have been little more than a hunted animal.

Even years later, I am constantly hounded by variations of these malicious slanders and their consequences.

Though this administrator was eventually dismissed for adultery, he was guilty of far more.

The details descend from there ... and, unfortunately, the situation has not improved to this day.

In order to cover the unsavory behavior of the "Southwest Baptist University family," the administrators of Southwest Baptist University has found new methods and means of spiritual rape -- each more immoral and unethical than the last, many of them potentially criminal.

The conspiracy to commit a felony is a felony -- except among Missouri Baptist Convention church members, in which case this is referred to as "fellowship."

This Restorative Justice Process has failed.

In large part, it failed because many of those harmed by these circumstances cannot bring themselves to "fellowship" with these individuals.

Because there has been no repentance, the evil is irredeemable.

There can be no restoration or reconciliation.

It is time now for RECONSTRUCTIVE JUSTICE.

The old corruption must be torn down and swept away to make way for rebuilding the new, to build a foundation for those who are willing to worship "in Spirit and in Truth."

Today, we begin RECONSTRUCTIVE JUSTICE.

The complaint to the Southwest Baptist University's accreditation agency will be posted later today, Friday, September 11.

PRESS RELEASE on Wednesday, September 9:
Requests Full Investigation of
Southwest Baptist University,
Resignation of Pres. Dr. C. Pat Taylor,
Staff Members, Trustees, Legal Team

While attempting to participate in the NCA hearings (see this post) last week, Marie re-bruised her previous injuries -- with the third attempt being the the most severe. She was obliged to rest and heal several more days.

However, after receiving yet another threat to her life this week, Marie has opted to pursue a more public effort, which will begin with a PRESS RELEASE to the Missouri Baptist Convention requesting: full investigation of the unethical, illegal and immoral conduct of SBU staff, resignation of the SBU President Dr. C.
