I was not laughing at alcoholics. Somehow, he recovered, fathered a son, but soon was drinking again. And having said that, I dont think I care to re-visit this thread to read any more new comments. @ Headless Unicorn Guy: OK, well, Im not sure if I am in agreement with that view or not. While I appreciate your heartfelt comment, I am compelled to share a tragic and devastating childhood experience with you. Now to deal with your concerns in a more general sense (and this is where it seems we differ), in my experience most churches arent in any way qualified to deal with alkies. Like Mr Sin-Leveler higher in the thread, I just chalked that up to Christianese Boilerplate. You are also incorrect that I am putting Barbara down because I disagree with her. Through the years, we have heard that RC SproulJrhas had an issue with drinking. RC2 has not been a humble, exemplary church leader. Lisa wrote: Rcjr had his license suspended for six months. or a swindler [scams, cons] They could look up names and addresses of mental health professionals or treatment programs in their area.

He said that this was one of the reasons that private and secret confession to a priest was adopted. However, you did make a good point, and Im glad you did: Sproul Jr. did indeed engage in that sin and irresponsibility before those tragedies occurred his life which bolsters my original statement. And I'm sure you didn't mean 'Alcoholism is an excuse to drink' I'm pretty sure you meant something like "Alcoholics use tragedy as an excuse to drink. The group gathered around him to pray. Today RC Sproul Jr pleaded not guilty and requested a trial by jury. I think solid Christian formation is far more productive and healing than the miserable anecdotes I hear about of Church discipline which seems so negative and punitive and results in public SHAMING, something that is very destructive for any person That is them saying that, not me. Am still reading through the comment thread. After the alky refuses to cooperate, which most drunkards do (sorry for substituting the Dark Ages biblical term), what then? I am in Silicon Valley, as you know, so I know all of the groups and organizations that you have mentioned. This is fallacious. I am not the least bit surprised by this [RC JR using an adultery site] as its commonplace in alcoholic behavior and something that is covered in treatment and on-going recovery programs. This thread started about S Jnr & comments were specific to his situation alone. She was in a very fragile place. Im not entirely sure why its considered relevant by Velour in talking to Barbara about RC Jr., though. I dont drink alcohol. They used to believe that high power lines caused brain tumors. In time they were each restored, one after repentance and one after a time in prison.

It has its uses because social pressure can be brought to bear from time to time, and you do know whether to let your kids go play over at so and sos house (not if Daddy is a drunk, for instance and keeping with this conversation) and it does get out who (married) was seen with whom (not a spouse) and what sweet young thing got into the car with whom after school after being forbidden to do that. Yes, Christiane, thats precisely how it works. And she showed that she had no clue what kinds of intervention should be done for an alcoholic (or substance abuser) in getting them into treatment and getting help for their spouse and children. After all the assistant still needed to run numerous errands for RC, and a little thing like a suspended driver's license wasn't going to get in the way of that. So behind the times.). I know several individuals who consume large amounts of alcohol on a regular basis and seem to have normal lives and hold down great jobs or are self employed. I just happen to see the religious and public aspects of this differently from how you see it. Putting your own estimation of the weight of those actions simply show that you have a misperception of Gods holiness by thinking the bar of the law is set so low that your sins arent as repugnant as someone elses. Its deeply odd for a grown man to mock anyone who doesnt drink. Vastly different things. None of the doctors ever diagnosed the root of my problem. One or two DUIs is usually not enough.

Velour said: Mine was a quiet conversion-I thought a lot about what I was hearing and reading, and through Gods kindness to me and the prompting of the Spirit, came to faith.

That is bad enough but when the person cant control themselves from driving when they are under the influence of alcohol makes this a lot worse in so many ways and more so when has children riding in the car with him when he is drunk. Imagine if I, a member of one of these churches, a lowly women less, was caught gambling or driving under the influence? The term Dark Ages is Velours term, and one she has painted any of us with who happen to take what the Bible says literally about Matthew 18 church discipline. In most cases those sins were nothing more than they wanted to leave his church for another church. I am thankful for support, growth and change. She was saying he should be put out. He needs to be in in-patient treatment for alcoholism (and whatever else troubles him that the medical professionals figure out). The job description was medical officer, non-clinical for the VA in which I reviewed medical records and tried to explain medical things to people who had no medical training, including but not limited to the lawyers on the BVA (Board of Veterans Appeals). Do you realise how offensive that is? I think they have missed the entire point of Rom. So its simply not true that Everyone who knows him confesses how genuinely repentant. Unfortunately, it is usually an entirely different story getting those scenarios to take place. As for whether or not other believers part company with him that situation is delineated by Christ Jesus Himself in Matthew 18. I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. and putting things into strong ideas with smooth words along with the willingness to step in and do that from time to time. Of course, if people believe that the real church somehow went dormant with the death of the last apostle and was not revived until the sixteenth century a lot of otherwise good ideas based on experience are just trashed-like the need for privacy regarding some things and how to handle both sinners and privacy within the church. 2.

Then as soon as they express repentance (they dont have to show it, they just have to say the word), theyre restored, and everyone else is supposed to show understanding and forgiveness. It seems like I had read he was a wife abuser? The idea is to protect the congregation and also try to restore the clergy member to wholeness. The fact is RC Jr has been abusing booze since he was a teenager. Many of us have suffered tragedies. Not born again huh?

Barbara trotted out the classic evangelical line that people with these problems arent real Christians, arent bearing fruit, etc. Soas far as you know they have adequate job performance, soso did Winston Churchill. So someone asked how can sitting in the pews help a recovering alcoholic. Would you please, so as not to cause me to stumble, stop suggesting that it is wrong to drink alcohol in moderation, or that drinking alcohol in moderation somehow is a failure to love my brothers?

The book by the lady who is an expert on Verbal Abuse, for instance, has a chapter near the end of her book where she advises women who are VA victims to be very cautious when choosing a MHP because most MHPs are ignorant about VA.

Based on Velours behavior in this thread especially, she isnt quite as kind-hearted or caring as you and her other friend who usually jumps to her defense feel she is. But if we do this, we usually reply to the comment on-blog telling the commenter that we edited their comment and why we edited it. RC Jr is all about covenant theology.

Sproul, Sr.), http://www.ligonier.org/learn/devotionals/guilty-conscience/. In short, Velour, I was trying to say that my experience has shaped my view of excommunication as re-defining a relationship from fellowshipping together to reasoning together.
