American History - by Doug the Tool

[twin2]

Dougie has posted a synopsis of lectures at the VF History Mega Conference (visionforum.com/news/blogs/doug/default.aspx). Here is a sampling:

The Early Explorers: Sea Kings and Vikings

There is a growing body of evidence that long before Columbus set foot in the New World, early explorers visited the North American continent. These may have included early missionaries. O fspecial significance is the Viking exploration of North America. Col. John Eidsmoe examines theevidence and—in the case of the Vikings—answers the question: Was it for Odin or Christ? He looks at the Viking kings’ conversion to Christianity

Oh sweet baby Jesus, please let Dougie dress up like a Viking. Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top. Apparently it is also not enough for Dougie to re-write US history, now he needs to re-write Scandinavian history as well.

The Glorious Cause: The War for Independence

The story of the heart and soul of the battle for independence is told by Marshall Foster in this powerful message that explains the true meaning of independence as a biblical war to enforce lawful charters, to defend women and children, and to see the righteous rule of Christ over theland. Foster introduces you to heroes and villains of the war and shows the profound difference between our War for Independence and the French Revolution, with one being a fight to build what they described as a “Hebrew republic,†and the other being a revolt against Christianity.

It's been a while since I was in school, but I don't remember anything about the Christian doctrine of woman and children first being in the Declaration of Independence. Apparently the French are not immune from Doug re-writing history either.

The Meaning of the 19th Century: A Providential and Theological Overview

The 19th century was the century of “ismsâ€â€”feminism, Marxism, socialism, evolutionism—just to name a few. It is the century that divided America in a great Civil War and the epoch that introduced the messianic state. Now Dr. Joe Morecraft walks you decade by decade and movement by movement through the century that gave birth to the century of genocide and arrogance, the 20th.

Oh, go fuck off Dougie. I'll take most of the -isms over Doug-isms any day.

Why 19th Century American Literature Was At War With God

How does a Christian nation lose its moorings and wander from its roots?Author of the new book, Apostate, Kevin Swanson chronicles the national apostasy of the 19th century as evidenced in the literature of such luminaries as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson,Mark Twain, and John Dewey. The influential work of these powerful men changed the direction of a nation, a culture, and a civilization. It was more of a cultural revolution than a political revolution, but what was the damage?

The Roaring Twenties

From Flappers to Prohibition, the Roaring Twenties represented the first great epoch of Modernity. Doug Phillips takes you through an overview of the era that transformed modern morality. Learn how the clothing styles, music, parties, gangsters, and politics of the Great Gatsby era paralleled an unprecedented retreat by the Church, resulting in an age of excess and abandon. Learn why feminism gave birth to Prohibition, and how the most dangerous eugenic and abortionist philosophies took root during this time period.

He should just really re-title this lecture: Why I hate women.

I think FJ needs to host a mega conference on "The History of Fundamentalist Religion in the US." I'll chair the session on VF.

**Doug Phillips is a Tool!**

What a circle-jerk.

I have no words. Oh, wait...I have five. Doug Phillips is a tool. :roll:

THE TOOL is also unaware that the term "Viking" was originally a verb, denoting pillage, rape and general mayhem. These people weren't Vikings, they WENT viking.

[merrily]

Are the interns reading here again, because Doug just posted on 8 reasons why you should come to his snooze fest. Get this, he used the word faboulous :wink-kitty:

[twin2]

And here is the fine faculty for the mega-conference

I count at least 6 certified tools in that bunch of manly men. I also find it very hard to believe that a 20 year old who has only had VF-learnin' is expert to enough to lecture at a mega-conference. :roll: :roll:

**Doug Phillips is a Tool!**

[merrily]

who is Dr. Marshall Foster?

[twin2]

who is Dr. Marshall Foster?

He is

founded the World History Institute, a nonprofit educational foundation, to teach the biblical and historical foundations of liberty.

Marshall is a 1967 graduate of the University of California at Santa Barbara. His graduate studies were accomplished at Talbot Theological Seminary, Christian Associates Seminary, with doctoral studies completed at the California Graduate School of Theology andCathedralBibleCollege. He was ordained in 1973 and earned a Doctorate of Divinity degree fromCathedralBibleCollege.

I stand corrected. We now have 7 certified tools in that bunch.

No. NOOO, Dougie.

The impulse to genocide (or, to put it plainly, the killing of large numbers of people) has been there as long as the human race has existed. What *wasn't* there was the technology to carry it out. That appeared in the latter part of the 20th century and the main "ism" it had to do with was capitalism.

It's quite interesting. The early Chekists (Bolshevik secret police) struggled with the concept of mass execution because they simply hadn't the means to do it without being rather inventive. Loads of people wanted to do it but couldn't. The twentieth century gave them the means, and it happened.

Learn why feminism gave birth to Prohibition, and how the most dangerous eugenic and abortionist philosophies took root during this time period.

Emphasis on the clothing styles, of course. Another opportunity for dress-up! And to discuss how women are to blame for modern societal problems because they stopped wearing corsets and bobbed their hair--the horror!

I'd pay to see Doug (Phillips who is a tool) dressed as a Viking.

Yet more proof that Doug Phillips is a tool.

[Just_Jane]

I think I get better historical information from HBO and Showtime dramas.

[nelliebelle1197]

Not a single of them has a real advanced history degree backed up by a legitimate university or a strong publication record do they? What is it with "conservative" types and rewriting facts to suit themselves?

[Arete]

I think we need to expand the definition of "The Roaring Twenties" to be "Why I Hate Women and Immigrants Who Know How To Make and Enjoy Booze".

.

I think the Genocide he is talking about is abortion. Cause we all know that did not start till birth control and abortion was legal.

God beams it direct into their heads that way it avoids the logic circuit.

[Anny Nym]

May I suggest this quick example of an" VF approved historical accurate Viking missionary!" :

What´s the viking word for tool again?

[Renting with Raggles]

Prohibition is something VF doesn't agree with? I thought these guys were all about Grape-Juice Jeebus.

The Temperance movement was a women's movement, but it wasn't really specifically tied to feminism. It was more about Good Christian Women getting sick and tired of their husbands blowing the weekly paycheck on whiskey every Saturday night and coming home drunk to give their wives and children black eyes. They wanted women to have the vote to pass Prohibition, not because they wanted to be all progressive.

[debrand]

These are the last two guys

Erik Weir is the founder and CEO of Weir Capital Management, a South Carolina firm that focuses on working with individuals to help them make and achieve financial goals. Erik works closely with many business owners, doctors, and retirees. Weir Capital has been named as one of the 25 fastest growing business in SC in both 2008 and 2009 by the SC State Chamber of Commerce.

I understand that Doug encourages families to start their own business but what does this have to do with history?

Kevin Swanson has a blog and wrote a book called Apostate

Which pastors are risking imprisonment for saying something is a sin? I want to know which ones have been arrested for only saying that they believe certain behaviors are wrong.

Why are pastors risking imprisonment for speaking against sins that used to be capital crimes a century or two ago? What in the world happened to Western civilization? In case you’ve missed it, we are in a gigantic war of the worldviews and Christians are losing in Western world.

I wanted to know how Christians lost the culture war, and so I did a major research project that took me into the lives, the ideas, the roots and the fruits of the great men who made the modern world what it is. These were some of the most shocking, sordid stories I had ever read. I knew the battle was intellectual. It is just that I didn’t fully realize the spiritual element of it. The book I have written chronicles the history of a violent, cosmic, spiritual battle that has produced much moral and social devastation in the 21st century. As I entered this world of conflict, I soon realized that the project was drawing me into this great battle of the millennium. It was the most exhausting two-year period of my life, but very rewarding in the end.

My bet is that he will discover the problem is vaginas and the fact that men don't automatically control their wives' and daughters' vaginas

We (most Christians) are largely unaware of the strong Satanic or demonic influence that worked on men like Nathaniel Hawthorne, Mark Twain, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Karl Marx.

I think that VF is a set of fundies who are okay with some alcohol drinking.

[Anny Nym]

Speaking of Satanic or demonic influence... Anyone else ever noticed that Geoff Botkin looks uncomfortably alot like Anton LaVey ? :lol:

I just realized that you are right.Coincidence? I think not. Has anyone ever seen them in the same room together? :think:

This is Lloyd Sprinkle's site. Lots of Confederate literature on that site.

[justlurking]

Yeah, I think it's primarily Baptists and a few other denominations that are of the "grape juice" belief. Dougie and his clan are Presbyterians and they don't appear to be that strict. In several of his European tour videos on Vimeo you can see members of the group with glasses of wine during dinner. And lest we forget his good friend RC Sproul Jr.'s battle with alcohol which was one of the reasons for his defrocking.

Perhaps a little Cristal as part of their dress-up events. Can't see Doug (Phillips who is a tool) at the local dive bar, tossing back shots of tequila while dressed as a biker...OK, I can see the "dressed as a biker" bit, but it would be a very refined biker.

Doug Phillips: tool

In modern Icelandic, tól

It doesn't really exist in Old Icelandic, but I like:

glæsirófa - which is a derogatory term for someone who behaves a bit like a peacock, literally translated to something like "embellished tail"

Lloyd Sprinkle, the confederate book lover, is the pastor for the Servens.

On a humorous note, there is a older gentleman on facebook with the name Lloyd Sprinkle who is not the man speaking at the event. I found a facebook photo of the older man in his undershirt, socks and underwear-all white holding a tiny guitar. :lol: It was NOT pastor Sprinkle but for a moment I was very confused.
