Watch out for the Blues Brothers!

Rick “Zebra” Davis and David “Karate Chop” Montoya have proven themselves to be wordsmith’s when it comes to attacking those who dare to criticize them. In a previous post I showed how vicious and onery Montoya can be to anyone who dares to critique him.

So now Davis has done the same.  Was gonna post his response  to me and other person named Peter, but alas at this very moment the responses have been removed. Hmmmm. Feeling guilty maybe. I happen to still have these fine examples for show that came posted on my e-mail.

I had defended a fellow named Peter, whom I don’t know. Peter had critiqued Davis’ response related to his blog on the SBC Today matter re: the supposed withholding of funds to the IMB. Peter was “ripped” a part by Davis and called a child. Davis responds to me with this:

You are not a child. You are a dolt. There is a difference. Regardless of your age, you will always and forever be a dolt.

I said in response to that with:

“And you mean that ‘in Christian love’

And his response is:

“No, I meant I give you up to Satan for the sake of your soul. You are the kind of sneaky little snake who slithers around looking for something to slime on. You are not a serious person. Grow up.”On Thu, May 28, 2009 at 8:40 AM,

So there ya have it. The responses speak for themselves. 

So watch out for the Blues Brothers, “Zebra” will blow his whistle and call you out of the “game”and “Karate Chop” will bust your ….well you get the point.

Go Get em Terry!

Since Montoya blocks me from his narrow minded blog, I say from here, “Go get Em Terry!!”

Terry Austin is a former BGCT employee and as such has and is seeing things from a realistic view. He takes Montoya and Davis, the Blues Brothers to task. 

To the Blues Brothers: It is  time to retire your old and worn out rhetoric. Your record is skipping and repeating the same line over and over again. Maybe it is time to drag the needle across your record and destroy it and throw it away.

Your arguments are losing ground and people are bored with your constant shrill.

As the old song says “Turn out the lights the parties over.” 

People done left the dance hall, it is time for yall to call it quits.

Blues Brothers Aint Gonna be Happy

Even though the Blues Brothers got David Lowrie as the new President of the BGCT/TBC, in no time short they will find something esle to complain about. It is built into the mission statement of their “call” to complain and gripe about just anything in the Building.

I have suggested to David Montoya, that he and Rick Davis er Dr. Rick Davis, go on the road with their Blues Brothers show. They could get a trailer and have it all painted up with thier pictures on the side with the dark sunglasses, fedora and a big black Bible. Wow, how cool would that be? Then they could hit the road with their evangelism trailer. David could do his karate thingy, maybe break a few bricks from the Baptist Building with his head (could knock some sense into him) and chop up what is left of Charles Wade’s desk. He could line up the staff of the BGCT/TBC and break boards held in their hands, oops, did he miss one on purpose and smash Wayne Shuffield’s head?

As a crowd gathers around for the “really big show” (say it like Ed Sullivan), then coming up from cloud of smoke would be Dr. Rick Davis.  With a huge Bible in one hand and several of his favorite philosophy books on a cart behind him, he would begin to “preach” and pontificate. He would use words, most folks have never heard before. The eyes of the crowd would begin to glaze over and people would fall over as if slain in the spirit, but alas it is in the spirit of Davis they have been put to sleep.

To close out the event, they could take up an offering with the black fedoras and say they on are on a mission from God to weed out the corruption in the “Building”. People would shout Amen and dig deep into their wallets and give generously. After the prayer, they would all gather for coffee and listen to Dr. Davis speak from his heart.

Really guys, this could be a big gig for ya. Call the office at the evangelism department of the BGCT/TBC and they might give you some of the valley money to do this work of God. 😉

Is David Lowrie Qualified?

If one uses the argument from at least one of the Blues Brothers, then David Lowrie is unqualified to be elected president of the BGCT. He has recently attended a Texas Baptist Committed convocation. He (say it silently) attended a TBC meeting. That “evil” organization the Blues Brothers lament and cry about endlessly as being the “machine” that runs the BGCT.

According to David Currie, he attended the TBC convocation to see just what that group was all about. For that he gains my admiration. Seems over the years the TBC has been painted with broad brushes by the Blues Brothers as the worst organization in Texas and any affiliation with it disqualified you from having any worthy conversation with Montoya and Davis.  I know Montoya used to be very involved with TBC. I am not sure about Davis.

So my question to them is, does this attendance at this meeting disqualify David Lowrie from being president of the BGCT? Is he now “in” with them and thus will push thier evil agenda? Did he really go to seek their approval? Hmmm, makes ya wonder.

I personally have no problem with David Lowrie. As a matter of fact, I consider him more qualified becuase he did attend. That tells me he is not closeminded and narrow in his associations with people from all walks of life.  He is willing to learn about TBC from the ground up and what they are really about. I think he will learn that TBC is made up of good people, who just want the BGCT to stay away from rank and file fundamentalism. They are not out to destroy or control the BGCT. They care for and love the BGCT and desire it to be the best.

For the record I support the TBC. I have attended meetings with them and no I have not been selected or appointed to any key committees. I find that they are my kind of people. I have seen first hand the dangers and harm caused by fundamentatlist.  There is still the looming danger of fundamentlist creeping around Texas. They are still a threat to our beloved convention. And TBC has and will keep us all informed as to those dangers and threats.

Honestly, it is a toss up as to who I will vote for BGCT President. David Lowrie has more of my respect for attending the TBC convocation.  That tells me he wants to be informed and educated on the issues at hand.  So good going David!

Texas Baptist Blues Brothers

It must be convention time, Montoya is plugging Lowrie for President. He seems to do so with no apologies. At the same time he will complain that Texas Baptist Committed shouldn’t do so. After all, Montoya seems to have the ear of more people than Currie does, or so he claims. So what is good for the goose— well you know the phrase.

Between Montoya and Davis, they have and will continue to point out the sins of the “building”. Davis, having been a part of the “building” for a period of time, is an insider who tells story after story of abuse. Admittedly, he was, if his stories are true, treated poorly. But then there are always two sides to a story and alas we have only heard his side.

So now we have the “blues brothers” lamenting the horrors of the “building”, while championing certain individuals whom they deem worthy of consideration for placement. I don’t doubt that the individuals they mention are good people.

So now, those in leadership are now called fundamentalist of the left. Wow, that is a very serious charge. Talk about hitting below the belt. Have they become like the current secular political arena and fallen into the gutter? Are they no worst, with using the internet to “advertise” candidates and harshly criticize others?

I have no doubt that the blues brothers and their “followers” are well intentioned people. I know they have the good of the BGCT at heart. My concern is that they imply that those currently in the building, no actually they say it, that they don’t care about the BGCT and the churches. They have already deeply criticized the new Executive and called him an insider and linked him to supposed nefarious groups and people.

The blues brothers are the McCarthyites of Texas Baptist. If you are so much as seen within the shadow of a member of the TBC, then you are part of that group and are evil incarnate. If you don’t support and endorse Lowrie, then you must be one of “them”.  Please understand, I aint got a thing whatever against Lowrie. I have met him and think he is a Godly man who truly desires the best for the BGCT.  He may be the best thing for the BGCT. But then again I don’t really know.

So who is calling the kettle black? If I contribute or support the TBC, then I guess to the blues brothers I am not worthy. If I don’t support the SBC, then am I a liberal? If I push a particular secular party more than another, shame on me.  Have we been reduced to catergorizing people according to “affiliations” and not to Christ?

I pray that at the convention all of the “secular” politics that has been pulled into the BGCT will fall by the wayside and the name of Christ is lifted high. That our common vision of reaching the lost for Christ will prevail. May His name be glorified.
