Woody Posted April 11, 2012 Posted April 11, 2012 After Pro-Women Vote, Pastor Doug Returns to Cave Seventh-day Adventist MegaPastor-Evangelist Doug Batchelor is reportedly walking away from his Amazing Facts empire after a proposal to allow women to be presidents within the denomination "went south." After news broke that in North America, women would be allowed to challenge men for top positions following an overwhelming vote in favor of not restricting conference presidency to people with "boy parts," Batchelor said on his radio show, "I didn't go to semen-ary just to see this happen. Come to think of it, I didn't go to semen-ary." The senior pastor of the Sacramento Central Adventist Church told his members that he would be returning to the cave of his youth where he could "swim in the buff without having to worry about women." According to reports, Batchelor will also be selling off his media-related assets, which include a satellite, a radio show, a television show, an internet show, a website with a "donate" button, and several "viral" videos in which he can be seen claiming that women should not be attend seminaries because the root of the word seminary is "semen" which women clearly do not possess (this is actually true). The videos do not, however, place any prohibitions on women who give semen-ars. With the wealth from the Amazing Facts selloff, Batchelor is expected to reclaim his former title of "The Richest Caveman" as he returns to his cave. Sources tell us that he is already in negotiations with Amazing Facts TV concerning a proposed reality show entitled "The MAN Cave: No Girls Allowed." And remember--It doesn't matter if it's true or not if you read it on the Internets. http://sdacaricatures.blogspot.com/2011/11/after-pro-women-vote-pastor-doug.html Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Woody Posted April 11, 2012 Author Posted April 11, 2012 That's just where he belongs! Problem is....Oh well, I better not go there. Well - I would not banish him to a cave for all of his time. Pastor Doug knows a few things about other topics. I just wish that he would refrain from speaking on those that he knows nothing. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

BobRyan Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Is there anything on this thread that is actually true (aside from what PKRAUSE is posting)? Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.

Moderators Kevin H Posted April 12, 2012 Moderators Posted April 12, 2012 Pastor Doug is a man who is willing to change and grow. I really respect that in him. Quote
Moderators Kevin H Posted April 12, 2012 Moderators Posted April 12, 2012 Pastor Batchelor knows more than all of us put together! Period! I know people who I would say this about. I wish that Pastor Batchelor could have sat in some of my college and seminary and Jersualem Center for Biblical Studies classes. Our pastors and academy teachers are sadly kept too busy to really grow in studies. But I respect his work for evangelism and first reaching people and also that he has shown himself to be willing to grow. Quote
doug yowell Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I found the piece demeaning and crude,hardly something that springs from the Spirit of Christ. I appreciate humor but why the need to go as low as possible? Surely they could've found something else about DB to make fun of without trying to make him out to be a real caveman. I wonder who'll be laughing at this on judgment day? Quote

I wonder who'll be laughing at this on judgment day? If I might guess ... It was in response to the 'crudeness' of the comments that Pastor Doug made regarding "semen". If Pastor Doug can speak of semen in such a crude way - surely others should be allowed to quote him. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Moderators LynnDel Posted April 12, 2012 Moderators Posted April 12, 2012 If he did make the comments about semen, I am guessing that he did it with a certain amount of tongue in cheek - and he is very capable of that. LD Quote LD
Woody Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 If he did make the comments about semen, I am guessing that he did it with a certain amount of tongue in cheek - and he is very capable of that. LD Yes, he is capable of that - just as the author of this blog is capable of it. Not sure we should restrict either of them. Free speech is free speech and one just has to live with the consequences. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Woody Posted April 12, 2012 Author Posted April 12, 2012 Is this supposed to be the "joke" for the day? That's what I was saying after Pastor Doug's "semen" comments. Trouble was - it was in a sermon and not a comedy blog. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Members phkrause Posted April 12, 2012 Members Posted April 12, 2012 I listen to the whole thing and nowhere does he say what you imply, other than bring up the fact of where the word originates from. By the way this is the best sermon against my position for women's ordination. As you know I was always for WO, but after listening to this I've changed my mind, so thanks Woody for the link. This is one of the greatest sermon's I've heard in quite a while, again thanks Woody. And by the way at least he allows people to disagree with him and not call others names as the OP does of him.
