Posted on January 30, 2012 by bobcargill

One of the elders fired by Mark Driscoll in 2007 has spoken out. You can read the comments by Bent Meyer here at the Wartburg Watch. The entire article is worth a read. With all of the turmoil that Mark Driscoll has brought upon his Mars Hill church franchise in recent months (see the exposé [...]

so, rick santorum, what you’re saying is “be conservative: don’t go to college”

Posted on January 27, 2012 by bobcargill

Rick Santorum’s real beliefs on education are finally frothing up and boiling over. Unfortunately, he’s saying them aloud in public. Kyle Munzenrieder wrote a brilliant response for the Miami New Times to Santorum’s most recent comments, as did The Hill‘s Daniel Strauss. Allow me to offer my own. Rick Santorum finally said aloud what many [...]

Posted on January 26, 2012 by bobcargill

Look out bloggers, Iran is coming for you. Iran is rounding up and arresting journalists and bloggers, and scheduling them for execution in the run up to their March elections. (See the State Dept. press statement here.) Free speech is a beautiful thing, and men and women have fought and died to protect it. Making [...]

how much more evidence do you need? mark driscoll’s mars hill church is a cult

Posted on January 24, 2012 by bobcargill

You must read Matthew Paul Turner’s most recent exposé of cult leader Mark Driscoll and his Mars Hill Church’s cult behavior when it comes to church discipline. You simply will not believe what is going on behind the scenes at Mars Hill. We’ve already seen Mark Driscoll discuss (watch about the 3 minute mark) how [...]

nonstampcollector’s latest: the ten commandments (as the supposed basis for the morality of western civilization)

Posted on January 23, 2012 by bobcargill

My favorite YouTube author, nonstampcollector, has produced his latest film entitled, “The Ten Commandments: the basis of our laws and morals.” The movie raises the question of the relevance of the 10 Commandments as the supposed fundamental basis for the ethics and morality of western civilization. Specifically, the video cleverly highlights those who argue that [...]

Posted on January 17, 2012 by bobcargill

…is turned in by The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain. I love Sergio Leone, and love Clint Eastwood, but also love Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach. Excellent choice by the Ukulele Orchestra and well performed. “You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who [...]

Posted on January 12, 2012 by bobcargill

As a Red Sox fan, any story about the greatest hitter of all time catches my eye. But this Ted Williams, and his story about a second chance at life, makes me smile. I mean BIG smile. Entertainment Tonight features a story about a formerly homeless crack addict, who was given (and who has accepted) [...]
