DEB STEPS BACK - UPDATE: Where's the vaunted "open and transparent"

APPARENTLY, it's been coming for awhile.  One is always curious - Dee says it's not a health issue
 [ which almost guarantees it's a family issue ]. 

I've always perceived Dee to be the driving force; the Don Quixote of discernment blogs.  Deb seemed to be more along for the ride.

10 years of negative posts will do something to your psyche - and possibly your family and church.

UPDATE;  TWW has always called upon churches/leaders to be OPEN AND TRANSPARENT.

Of course you'll not find it in the case of Deb stepping/down.

Ain't no openness nor transparency in the future.  TWW, like everybody else in the world, would like to keep some things to themselves.

DO NOT expect an open discussion of Deb and her situation.  They would like you to respect her privacy despite spending the last 10 years insisting that others did not deserve privacy.

Discernment blogs; only discerning others, never themselves.

  1. '10 years of negative posts' probably hits the nail on the head. It's not just that what they 'dissect' is mostly negative, the commenters add to this, although as I have said before they do seem to have toned it down a bit more recently.

    There are several names I remember from when I commented there that no longer seem to be present, and I wonder if the Velour incident was the last straw for some of them who realised just what was going on and how they too might have been drawn into the cycle of negativity.

    Discernment as to what is going on in the evangelical scene is essential, but you can't spend all your time on this, it needs balancing up with something more positive. After all, the Christian gospel is meant to be good news and about eternal life, not whining about the imperfections of your local church and eternal complaining!
