Also, an e-book was brought to my attention the other day, called "The New Pharisaism" by one Bill Slabaugh which sounds just like the CRN.info blog, started up to try and silence a grassroots response against apostasy. Well, ok.... whatever.
In it he talks about spiritual bullies and all the tactics that are used by those "Pharisees" trying to warn the church against the very real mysticism and occult practices that are coming into the church. "Ganging up on" people? Bullying people? Coercing people? That is far more likely to happen TO us than by us. In fact, is has, to most of us.
I would point Mr Bill Slabaugh to Todd Wilken's EXCELLENT article "Playing the Pharisee Card."
" In the end, the Pharisee Card amounts to nothing more than name-calling. And, like the Race or Gender Cards are in politics, in the Church, the Pharisee Card is always the sign of a losing hand."
