Mooney Guns for "Secret" Meeting in Detroit?

and his suggestion last night with his statement that the "Apostles never operated in corners" and the argument that "false prophets" will try to entice you secretly, it seems very plain to some that he seeks to paint this meeting as some clandestine demonically influenced conspiracy to overturn Pentecost and "the message".

This would appear to be very inflammatory and contentious to some considering that the lineup of the invitation only meeting in Detroit consisted of TF Tenney, Rex Johnson, and others.

One minister on a ministerial forum stated that he spoke to Mooney after this sermon and it was clear to him based on this discussion that Mooney had this meeting in his cross hairs.

This is for Growing Pains. You are speaking off the cuff, with very little insight to the dynamics here. Things don't happen in a vacuum, nor has this message by Mooney, this thread, or the reactions by various posters herein - especially wanting to find out who is who.

Ask yourself who posted this podcast message on their blog?

Ask yourself who logged on to sing the praises of this message within minutes of the post you read above - perhaps being prompted that it had been posted?

Ask yourself who viscerally attacked the men in Detroit in this thread?

Ask yourself who has boasted about spending the last few months on this topic and encouraged others to read his articles on this issue of emerging church?

Ask yourself who might be the Miss. minister who had a discussion after this message with the preacher and knows first hand that Mooney had these men in his sights during this message about preserving Apostolic identity and throwing down the gauntlet about confronting our brethren?

As for your interpretation of the context of this message - it begins to unravel down a certain line after Mooney speaks of Emerging Church. Go back and listen with recent history in mind and what you have read here.

Think my good man about Mooney's role on the EC committee. Think about the events of the last few months. The dots are there for the connecting.

Do you honestly believe the men in Detroit have not had a bull's eye on them for quite some time already? They have been on HQ and General Board radar for months - some years. These men, by name, have been the fodder of ridicule, disdain and gossip on private ministerial forums for just as long with sorrow being pretext for engaging in such activity.

Take notice that no one disagrees what and who this message is targeting, even those who laud it. Why? But rather want names.

Ask why various posters have done their best, even via private messaging, to uncover who might be a mole or speaking out of turn?

Scott, like I said to you prior I will not disclose my identity even if you probe and flatter.

It is what it is.
