I offered H.A. Although no church is perfect, some have lousy ideas about caring. And we explain why we think that word is an inappropriate and unhelpful when talking about domestic abuse. Wonder what will happen to churches or SBC leaders if they are not willing to sign off on this resolution? But there is very good help for many problems that has helped and changed peoples lives. Here is what he REALLY said. That was maybe confusing. And looking at this from a third angle: Even if the person may have been hurt they may still be absolutely correct and objective in what they say. But I have not seen anyone say, Kick them out of the church! Having debunked this mythical correlation could everyone just stop speaking as though there is one? R.C. Will they be publicly humiliated next? I am commenting on the same statement you commented on. They will not change who the man fundamentally is. I think that would apply even to alcoholics or people with other sorts of problems. It wont. For the first time ever, Ive got the first comment, all the way from England. You got it dead wrong. Velour, I said haha about the typo which the authors of this post had inadvertently made in the text of their post. I had to be treated for major clinical depression and be put on anti-depressants. as opposed to their christian relatives who have been strapped with all manner of convoluted *& conjectured* shoulds and shouldnts. I think the way these churches do it IS called accountability groups where people are urged to confess everything to the group and Im not sure what happens next . Thank you for sharing your familys story with such honesty, and hope. Then he orders his church to shun the entire family, including small children. 2. Warning: Unless RC Sproul Jr gets some real help, the next incident could be tragic. . 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 Deborah wrote: Remember too, that Paul also confronts the church when they do not welcome the repentant brother back. Some of those people struggle with alcoholism and substance abuse problems. Alcoholics are liars- the best liars. or a swindler [scams, cons] You seem to think more highly of church than I do in these matters, however, because I think that getting church to perform up to speed in these areas is a hopeless quest. He has shown no signs of full repentance and a changed life, so thats why treatment is not as important to me right now it wont work. This is in keeping with working the steps with a sponsor in a recovery program and cleaning up the wreckage of ones past.. My goal is to get this thread back on track. And its important to try. Heres where we seem to fundamentally agree: After the alky refuses to cooperate, which most drunkards do (sorry for substituting the Dark Ages biblical term), what then? Drunk driving wasnt just a one time incident, and drunk driving with kids in the car didnt happen just the once either. Sorry I cant help you, friend. Obviously, I dont know what goes on behind closed doors. I believe God gave me a second chance at life, and I am so grateful! This man needs help. I dont support enabling him. That would probably fall to the individual him or herself and/or their family. To me, its the better road than the kick them out approach. Unfortunately, in spite of years of problems including accusations of excessive alcohol intake, it does not appear that dad Sproul and others in his orbit did much to help him deal with his alleged substance abuse issues. (Dee) Here is a reportof the arresting officer. Isnt it ironic (and beyond sad) that this thread IS about a church leader. He should be fired. It seems that most of us are in agreement that: 1. Isnt there some kind of authoritative oversight in the Presbyterian denomination? People from many churches came to our group . When your theology is based on exclusionary principles, you have to accept the consequences when that sword cuts the other direction. How would permitting Sproul Jr. to remain a pastor, or in regular attendance at any church, treat his alcoholism, or treat or correct his tendency to visit cheating sites, or to bully other people? But it is also remarkable how MUCH can be done to protect others from the addict, that is NOT done. They are quite different. So he may have already been to treatment. I am not trying to take you to task, because you are obviously passionately defending a carefully considered stance, but your mode of communication is obscuring your message. And I use the analogy deliberately, because it has just about all of the dead-end singularities from which no light can ever escape: Thats why a Guild Navigator is indispensable when folding space. Would it be okay with you to then obey what Jesus and Paul say in the Word of God? I just see the hope really being in getting people like him into treatment, and getting treatment/support for their family members. Barbara said that H.U.G. So, thankfully, I am on my week break before school starts again, because if I hadnt been following the comment thread, you would have been comfortable saying that I do not agree with treatment for alcoholics (until I corrected you). Sproul Sr. will experience MUCH MORE suffering than he is right now. I would sure like to be aware of that when conversing with you. job loss). Is is with a licensed professional whos trained and qualified in alcoholism? I am sure that had someone else been doing the same actions that RC2 did who wasnt RCs son and bearing RCs same name that they would have been history much earlier. ::Sigh:: many people WHO are trained in psychology. I dont draw a hard line in the sand, which I think can go to the other direction of legalism. had to drop out of high school athletics in order to help his family . We went over this last night. I think they probably know what works and what doesnt. @ Deborah Coan: So you fully agree with what Sproul wrote in that article? 2. That his (second) wife and children could benefit from help as well for the family members of problem drinkers so that they can learn to take care of themselves around him. Tragically, her parents were killed upon impact, and my friend and I were pinned in the GMC pick-up in which we were riding. Sr. cant stop Jr. from spending his money on alcohol. So sorry my lived experience doesnt bolster her view points and philosophy. God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, People dont have to reinvent the wheel to find help. It seems to me that Velours initial comments were based on her own painful experience of being pushed out when she needed to be embraced instead. RC Sr gave up smoking awhile back. *rar , '*& . Vesta Sproul: Advice for Young Converts NonConformist Ministries 38 subscribers 7.3K views 2 years ago In this video Andy Woodard of NonConformist Ministries interviews Vesta Sproul, wife of. These accounts can be found in many places on the internet. Even Sproul Jr says so. Should the entire church have been warned to stay away from Daisy, to have nothing to do with her, and that shes probably destined for Hell (because she just hasnt gotten over it and shaped up?)? re: Sr. can keep Jr. from standing in the pulpit: This is not true. Several of my friends in high school were killed by drunk drivers. He allegedly also served children alcohol. That so easily could have been all she wrote. I dont know. But then there is whats known as the functional drunk or the functional alcoholic. Functional drunks tend to be over-confident of themselves and, therefore, may become reckless behind the wheel and take dangerous risks. However, he does now have a permanent criminal record, and a felony record, no less. A lot of injury can be done by someone driving under the influence of alcohol. Maybe she was advocating for it to be done in public (? You could maybe argue he could be permitted to be a Pew Potato, but I dont think he should be allowed to remain a preacher. and just as simply, they dont drive afterward someone who only drank soft things is the designated driver. You dont. Purge the evil person from among you.. Bear in mind the differences between (a) information, (b) personal opinion and (c) medical opinion. It is always a pleasure to read her advice on legal/medical/mental matters, as her experience clearly shows. This does not give any of us an excuse to walk in disobedience to the Lord as he has. Maybe feeling comfortable is too much to expect when something is not ready to be shared. 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. It was spiritual abuse, a form of abuse that sounds remarkably similar to the same abuse RC Jr has inflicted on dozens of people. I get that church is not just a building, its people. Maybe his/her story lies hidden in those barbs, and they are the only way this person can express themselves at this time? 1 Corinthians 5:11-13. Which is sad & lonely. I cant imagine the pain and loss you experienced. My FIL quit drinking, stayed sober 30 years. Many people including women secretly struggle with addiction in the church. Should alcoholics and drug addicts be enabled? Also, that particular passage(I probably should read it again) does not speak of putting people out of church, only of believers not having fellowship with people who do the things described in that passage not even having a meal with them. if you can remember way back some time ago, a person behaved the same way but under a different name than H.A. Let me ask you a question, instead, Daisy. He is damaging indeed, and the fruits are showing. They are not consigned to their pasts. It takes a tremendous faith in Gid, as well as support from non judgement all Christians to let go and let your child experience the consequences. Not everyone can financially afford to see a MHP, either. My mother was codependent in part because her father used to abuser her and her mother, and she raised me to have codependent behaviors, which left me vulnerable to being exploited or abused by other people. The record of his life, the record he created and boasted about in his own sermons and publications, the record he established boozing it up in front of his church members, proves that RC Sproul Jr has been abusing the booze for many many years prior to his personal family tragedies. Totally agree with you about his church (and Ligonier, etc.) Being around others in a church setting may help resolve a need for companionship, but Im not seeing how it would cure somebody of a condition that would likely need medical intervention or the attention or professionals. It was as a college freshman that R.C. Parental instincts are to protect your child at all costs. JA, I addressed that in a blog post on my Miss Daisy Blog some time ago (that my posts at Barbaras blog were censored for mentioning codependency. He gave several steps to be taken in dealing with a professed believer who is living a life of rebellion against God. Did you miss my comment to you at 4:41 p.m. today? This truck had lap belts, which Im pretty sure we werent using. Galatians 6 seems to differentiate between those people who are to be restored and those in ICor 5 that are to be put out. The fact that he felt ok about this statement says a lot of about an addict's powers of denial. One or two DUIs is usually not enough. They guy went to another church in the same denomination and auditioned or whatever you call it for the head preacher job. How can an unregenerate unrepentant un-remorseful drunkard be allowed to pass himself off as a member in good standing of any Bible believing church? However, I have seen two people disfellowshipped at a church, and both of them should have been based on scripture. I believe our church greatly reduced the misery of the woman who died of alcoholism. And I mentioned several times RC2s behavior that justifies him being put out. Theres a lot thats known about how to deal with people with addictions. The Bible says that those who profess to be brothers in Christ and are drunkards need to be expelled from the church. I keep telling our kids that living well is the best revenge and so far, I think theyre listening, but my heart grieves over these other young lives that are going to waste, almost as if they are desperate to fulfill the pastors and their parents grim prophecies about what happens to those who leave the straight(jacket) and narrow(minded) way. You want to see whence my fury? The Bible says that those who profess to be brothers in Christ and are drunkards need to be expelled from the church. Velour, since the beginning this discussion, your mission has been treatment. Barbara has posted ONE comment. -Which will bum Velour out for me to say, because she thinks Im not chipper and positive enough about things, but I am stating my reality. RC Sproul Jr Had therapy and continues to do so. I take her at her word. By the way if you had bothered to read the post, you can see I did find some help by way of material by MHPs, but I had to find that material on my own, because the MHPs I consulted in person over years were or no help. I am all for using these tools but they are not a panacea. I said on my blog that the TOPIC itself was banned, which I find detrimental to women who are in abusive relationships (whether marriage, friendship, at work, etc). Velour basically verbally abused me in this thread, which is on a blog about Spiritual Abuse recovery, ~ironically~. maybe we could have a cuppa sometime wouldnt that be somethin. It certainly was not just a church thing, it was a cultural thing. So behind the times.). I agree with what you wrote about Sproul 2 and how the different problems should be handled. But not everyone is an alcoholic nor should they be classified as such. 511 0 obj <> endobj 533 0 obj <>/Filter/FlateDecode/ID[<9723A9CD413C4B2C92544032644E85B0>]/Index[511 35]/Info 510 0 R/Length 100/Prev 987638/Root 512 0 R/Size 546/Type/XRef/W[1 2 1]>>stream Its rude. I even opened up to church people about some of the problems I had but was met with platitudes and put downs, not support. Not impressed. I am well aware of the failure rates of alcoholics and substance abusers. I quoted this post because it has both your posts in it. She was born April 17, 1947 at Baltimore, MD a daughter of the late Phillip Geppi and Rita Geppi who survives at Belington. I have to be careful what I say because of my blog and if you went on to say JA is against treatment for alcoholics based on what you thought, you would be giving misinformation. This man, if all that is being said is true, is guilty of causing scandal-that is lots worse than just being some pitiful old drunk. The legal issue with Sproul 2 is that he wasnt diverted to the substance abuse court which dealt with misdemeanors and he was being charged with felonies. The point of it is to not enable the bad behavior. Having said that, I suggest you read the verses I gave (1 Cor 5:11-13). Ann Sproul passed away at age 65 years old on August 9, 1996. Yes, they can be a big help but only if the person is dead serious about sobriety. During all my time of distress, nobody in the church was there for me, whether inside or outside a brick building with a cross and steeple. I would just like to add that many Al-Anon meetings are safe and warm places. And yes, I read the story above about the alcoholic lady who died, and her church paid for her funeral. I did read your post, Daisy. One of the grandparents of my generation has relatively early dementia-the same thing that killed his mother and the same disease that has now stricken him. Can you find out for us if this was a New Calvinist takeover thing? As you might already know he recently plead guilty to one felony in a plea bargain. I think that was what Barbara was in part advocating for up thread. But we did not ban her. I said, as you know, that he should lose his job. Heres where it can be complicated to be part of the church if the church environment is where hes long been allowed to play out sinful behaviours should he be there right now? The recovering alcoholics that I know who work good sobriety programs (men and women alike) have ditched many of their old ways. Perhaps you have very little experience with people (men and women) who have gotten clean and sober. and me and she advocated that people with addictions be kicked out of church. Have to agree. Tragedy does not cause alcoholism. United States. I remember the anticipation of validation and consolation as some of those same people also left soon after. He gained a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Westminster College in 1961, Bachor of Divinity (BD) from Pittsburgh Theological Seminary in 1964, and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from the Free University of Amsterdam in 1969. But interventions and treatment does work. RC Sproul has a very twisted view of the Trinity and the Crucifixion. The former statement had stronger language. If that is the case, the person who says, Aw, come on. If a person backslides then they teach this person never was a true believer really never given irresistible grace.. Yes, job loss should happen for Sproul 2, but with the church directing him and supporting him into treatment. In fact most drunk drivers are pulled over by the police not because theyre driving recklessly, but because theyre driving abnormally slow. I think a spouse should leave and take the children (better yet kick the addict out of the house) I have seen people who lose their family and job recover and then the family can be restored. 1. repetitive and in a rut Barbara made a nasty comment to H.U.G. It is natural for a father to want to protect a child from the consequences of their actions but at some point in time when the child keeps doing this the parent has let them experience the consequences. He was hospitalized, detoxed, and put into psychiatric care with good follow-up and today, he is not drinking and no longer has the severe symptoms. The Bible says that those who profess to be brothers in Christ and are drunkards need to be expelled from the church. I find that the best part of blogging. I thought perhaps that JA and Barbara were referring to the entirety of RC Jrs choices and damage inflicted from his lofty position as spiritual authority, even though from the context that wasnt obvious. Cluster groups have been studied at length for things like brain tumors, etc. Then they really start talking. Even pastor Wade Burleson who has E-Church here on Sundays doesnt subscribe to that. That his (second) wife and children could benefit from help as well for the family members of problem drinkers so that they can learn to take care of themselves around him. Yes, there sure is. Preach it sister! I am not sure why this is found so disgusting. Introducing The Keller Center. People think they have far more impact than they do re: what they can control re: an addict, and they think they have far less control than they do re: what they themselves can do to reduce the impact of the addict. That doesnt mean there arent possibly a whole host of them out there. Actually, at the end of the day he was responsible for his choices. but I thought most Christian people understood that Christ is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity (God) and that a Person died on the Cross. . If he has been drinking as long as is being alleged, Sproul is at high risk of offending again. Ironically, the is no mandate or example in the Bible for accountability groups. No. Note, that process was taught by Christ Jesus for ANY believer. In time, this changes for the better. Is this ALSO the teaching of the rest of the SBC concerning Who died on the Cross? We dont know. I think both him and his dad would have been jerks with or without alcohol. 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. One of the only reasons I came back to this thread was to add something about your insistence on people getting treatment (treatment outside of a church). Come on People!!!! I have updated the post with photos of the injuries I sustained almost 45 years ago because someone chose to drink and drive. He gave several steps to be taken in dealing with a professed believer who is living a life of rebellion against God. Many Christians, including from other cultures and countries, incorporate alcohol just fine in their lives without any problems. and drive with children while drunk! In that case, the hurting people reference is not applicable and its spin off allusions are incorrect and misleading. You cannot change your past, nor can I, nor can Rcjr. Have you taken a DNA test? Comparisons between yourself and Sproul are a little mismatched. Vesta Voorhis Sproul (age 84) is listed at 347 Bellview Pl Sanford, Fl 32771 and is affiliated with the Republican Party. But I dont exactly see her saying say, Kick them out of the church! either. I had to figure it out myself later in life. Yes,?, no?, I dont know ? Sproul Jr.s excommunication. When there are cover-ups to protect the leader, whole families shunned because they dont like the church, those are certainly red flags. So glad you are with us today. But I have not seen anyone say, Kick them out of the church!. Sproul 2s drinking (and whatever other problems that he has) and an intervention by family and friends with a trained professional. It really was an answer to prayer, and it wasnt the clinic that I originally picked out after an extensive internet search. It is surely a complex issue with no single cause. I saw several psychologists and psychiatrists in person over years, and none of them diagnosed me properly, and so were unable to help me. My thing has always been to understand that the addict is probably hurting others and thats not OK. It is what the Bible calls for. Temporarily remove the alcohol factor from consideration. That is exactly what RC Jr. and like-minded men are running, and many are running their cults under the protective coloration of a mainline denomination, such as the PCA or the SBC. If one has not read the Adult children of alcoholic books, dont consider yourself educated on this matter. Thanks H.A. (And the same goes for HUG where he contemptuously described me as righteous.). Like RC, none of us can dictate to our grown children how to live their lives. With Barbara because he does need to be put out of the church as a minister (and that needs to be permanent) and as a member (although that could potentially be temporary). I tried so hard to offer some comfort. so pushing anger down is exhausting and depressing and being able to BE angry openly is a step in the right direction, My husband likes to read Peanuts and is always amused when he can announce that Im having a crab-in a la Lucy Van Pelt. I have no doubt that it wasnt the first time by any means that R.C. But yesterday I had to go back and let them look at a post-op problem that has arisen, and the delightful surgeon in the office who saw me was a man. and me that she believes that people with addictions should be kicked out of the church and that the problem and H.U.G. I am thankful for support, growth and change. Would you please forgive me? Because if everyone drinks like he does, it then becomes NORMAL! I am not trying to take you to task, because you are obviously passionately defending a carefully considered stance, but your mode of communication is obscuring your message. [1]. Thats why I gave you push back, because a lot more is at stake than just him and how this is handled. Wev had varied opinions on how to handle addictions in the church on this thread. I do not believe that an addict should be thrown out of church.There is afterall a disease involved, but a church should not enable. 2. Drinking and driving is SO DANGEROUS! But to publicly humiliate people instead of directing them to in-patient substance treatment is wrong. My heart goes out to the commenter who mentioned loved ones still caught in the clutches of St. Peters. They display all of the signs.). Not born again huh? The point being that even relatively mild hypoglycaemia is known to impair brain function; if I were involved in an accident whilst hypoglycaemic, I would be considered in law to be driving under the influence of medication. Alcoholism is an excuse to drink and every alcoholic in the world usually tries to find an excuse to drink. That would probably fall to the individual him or herself and/or their family. which is not that far off base: he needs to be born again as this persistent pattern of behaviour shows he is NOT regenerate and is NOT in Christ at all. 3. Its one thing for churches to give crummy, harmful (medical / psychological) advice to people I absolutely am. Yeah, this is exactly why I left church behind. @ Friend: @ Velour: Barbara could have easily included treatment for alcoholism in her comment. I dont think he knows what it is to love someone other than himself, and he doesnt do a good job of even that. His wife passed away from cancer in December 2011. He needs a skill-intervention by those people around him. It sounds so evil. That does not mean that we do not also think that he should get treatment for the good of his children and his wife and the community at large. Im not incorrect. That is not what Jesus would have us do. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); Julie Anne can be reached at: JA@SpiritualSoundingBoard.com, Kathi can be reached at: Kathi@SpiritualSoundingBoard.com.
