By Douglas Stambler
It’s time to kick Doug Wilson out of Moscow. My name is Douglas Stambler, and I was sent here by God to help your city rid itself of Doug Wilson and the cult known as Christ Church. I am a prophet – a seer – and now I will simply let God talk through me to let you know everything you need to know to remove the “cancer” that is Christ Church from the Palouse. Everything that follows in quotes is directly from God.
“Evil comes in many forms. Usually, evil is in the form of fornication, drug usage and alcohol consumption. But then there is another type of evil in the world, which I call, ‘The Evil of Teaching Evil.’ Doug Wilson fits neatly into this category. The true story of how Doug Wilson got started as a preacher goes like this: When Doug Wilson was about 7 years old, he noticed that if he controlled what he said, then he could control other people, too. His father – local pastor, Jim Wilson – loved Doug and his brother, Evan; but Jim’s goodness did not really rub off on Doug: Doug was a willful boy, a troubled teen, and an angry young man. In about 1973, Doug Wilson made up his mind to become an evil person – he actually set his mind to being evil: He started reading books about ‘Christian sorcery’ and the ‘dark, Christian arts.’ Turned on by how effective fear could be used to manipulate others, Doug Wilson tricked his brother Evan into starting a church with him – out of a garage in Moscow, Idaho. And so, Christ Church was born, and ‘evil’ had a nest to protect ‘evil’ and grow here in the town.”
“In 1979, Evan and Doug Wilson went their own ways theologically, and this fact grieved their father (Jim), because Evan was Doug’s last hope for living a good life, instead of the evil one he had chosen. But you’re wondering what about Doug Wilson makes him 100% ‘evil.’ The answer is complex. I will list for you what Doug Wilson is really like:
1) He considers himself in the service of Satan.
2) He seeks to harm everyone he meets.
3) He is a homosexual, who condemns homosexuality publicly.
4) He has no respect for civil law.
5) He almost never tells the truth – for any reason.
6) He is an adulterer.
7) He preaches hatred and calls it Christianity.
8) He harbors plans to manipulate members in his ‘church’ to commit violent crimes for him.
9) He demands the kind of respect from others only reserved for royalty and high church officials.
10) He conspires against a multi-racial Idaho.
11) He donates money to white supremacists.
12) He is a heretic – according to Jesus Christ.
13) And, the fact is: he can’t wait until his father dies so he can take over Community Christian Ministries.”
“Is ‘evil’ obvious to others? Yes. And that’s why, once and for all, Doug Wilson will be stopped from doing any more evil. Moscow, Idaho has seen enough of the likes of Doug Wilson.”
In Christ,

Posted by: dp at August 14, 2003 12:52 PMWHY ME?? It seems I'm the only one who's been hit with the Douglas Stambler Virus. For more "prophecy", go see his blog here. I usually prefer to delete his comments, but sometimes I like to leave them so everyone else can see what a fruitcake he is.
Posted by: Christin at August 14, 2003 01:20 PMI don't get it either. And it seems to e a pre-canned comment, as you live in Louisiana, and Wilson can thus not be remotely considered to be in "your town". I'd block his IP if I were you.
Posted by: ryan at August 14, 2003 01:31 PMI've blocked him before, but he uses public computers, so I can't really stop him.
Posted by: Christin at August 14, 2003 01:38 PMYou don't get it? Check out his blog!
Posted by: nick at August 14, 2003 02:59 PMSome thoughts:
1. Douglas Stambler would be spectacular on Teen Jeopardy.
2. You know, for an omnipotent Being, God doesn't have much of a way with words. Exhibit A: "The Evil of Teaching Evil."
3. "The Evil of Teaching Evil" would be a great name for a metal band.
4. The blissful absurdity of the following statement gets better the more you read it: "But you’re wondering what about Doug Wilson makes him 100% ‘evil.’ The answer is complex."
5. What is it with serious Reformed sorts naming their kids "Douglas"? Don't they know it's kind of a goofy name? It's like naming your son "Eugene" or "Wally". It's just not right.
