CNN CULT ALERT, PART DEUX

CNN's Nancy Grace revisited the cult issue tonight:
Tonight, we`ve got an all-star panel of clergy, lawyers, shrinks and profilers trying to make sense of it, as we take a closer look at the Church of Christ. It has been called a cult.
Yes, it's been called a cult by your guest on your show last night.

So, Nancy Grace pulls Rubel Shelly out of mothballs to discuss the Church of Christ phenomenon. You can scroll down at the link above and read what he said. He did a pretty good job, with the expected Rubel Shelly-esque qualifications. Nancy Grace pushed on the role of women issue again, and reading his comments and Rukalah's from last night, I suspect Rukalah is actually the more conservative of the two on the issue.

I suppose it could have been worse: they apparently asked Mike Cope first. Talk about being in a strait betwixt two: a cult on the one hand, associated with Shelly and Cope on the other. Hmmm--tough choice.

I was wondering why they didn't ask Lucado, myself. I'd guess his public quasi-disassociation with churches of Christ might have something to do with it.

Ah, but who better to testify just how cultish the Church of Christ really is but one who recently tore himself out of their sadistic, repressive grasp! Bring in Lucado!

Better yet, F. Lagard Smith! Yes!

One of these guys could be the next John McCain!
