I often wonder about why tabloid's are still in business. Everyone knows that they are filled with nonsense and lies. The "reporting" in tabloids follow a simple rule: if it will sell, write it. Thus, tabloids are a pell-mell arrangement of unappealing photographs with libelous captions meant to incite a myriad of emotions; mostly anger or shock. They are accountable to no one. That last part is the dangerous one. The Associated Press could not get away (at least not to the same degree) with the same tactics of bad reporting and false testimony. They are respected and dedicated to being professional reporting agency.
That all being said. sgmsurvivors.com and sgmrefuge.com are nothing more than your run-of-the-mill supermarket tabloid. They are accountable to no one. No one checks their facts. No one checks up on the user posts to see if they can be verified. Anyone can post or comment on these sites and it's taken as gospel truth. Now that I think about it, it's replaced gospel truth. The people who run these sites are simply encouraging those who are hurt to stay in their hurt and vomit every problem SGM has. Which by the way, SGM is grateful for, God wants an unjured party to keep record of wrongs in a very public manner so the offender can have a readily available list of things they need to work on.
I am predicting that some of the grievous "stories" of how evil and diabolical SGM pastors are going to have the spotlight of truth shined on them soon and they will tumble like a house of cards. This will be the webblog's own fault. They claim to be growing in influence and yet I see no responsibility in leadership in the area of fact-checking.
Fact-checking is such a waste in reality. Why bother to report, comment, or even consider anything that's actually true and verified? It's much easier to hear someone new come onto your blog and start railing on the same things you are railing on and assume everything they say is true. How utterly irresponsible, and how foolishly stupid. Now there is an squad (i was going to say army but--) of bloggers who are united only by their common target. Funny how they picked a target (SGM Pastors) who wont fight back. Is this not the trait of a coward? Imagine the elation of being in a position where if the person you are slandering comes forth to defend himself, you are validated and somehow made right by the very fact he stepped up to defend.
If I could roll my eyes any more I'd go into redout.
If it wasn't so God damned wrong I'd be impressed. (And yes, thats an appropriate use of that phrase.) God actually does damn the gossip, slanderer, and those that keep record of wrongs.
Sgmrefuge and sgmsurvivor, you should pack up and all go back to your churches and work things out without assuming you are right. By not doing this you are causing division while shaking your fist at God, not believing that He's actually in control of whatever situation at any given SGM church. The existence of both your sites is a monument to your incredibly brash and public lack of belief in the sovereignty of God. I wouldn't be rejoicing in getting more hits each month to your monument of unbelief. Seems a bit brazen in the presence of an almighty God.

In Response to CONSIDER THE TABLOID: (First) These sites you reference are BLOGS! This fact alone assumes that the reader is left to determine the merit of ehat is being said, but apparently you know little about what a BLOG actually is. (Second) Many peopel who have posted stories are severly wounded individuals, who have children who have been raped, have suffered spousal abuse (physical and emotional), as well as spiritual abuse. How dare you belittle these facts, by referring to these individuals as foolish and stupid. (Third) what is this SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD all about. Where is this found in the Bible? This is a notion that developed during the Middle Ages, and clearly was not present in the time of Christ. It is a man-made notion used to control individuals. You are the ones who are clearly showing forth absolute assinine ignorance. It is never the SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD for any man or woman to suffer. There is not one example of this in the Bible. All who suffered were healed!! No one ever was told that God has sovereignly wanted them to suffer! Again, your juvinile ignorance and lack of knowledge of the Word is evident!
