The purpose of this satire is to emulate in jest in order to prove a point. Everyone should have a problem with this blog. If you disagree with SGM's practices and leadership you should have issues with this blog, if you are an ardent supporter of SGM's practices and leadership you should have issues with this blog. This blog is a mirrored representation of how sgmrefuge.com and sgmsurvivors.com do things, albeit to logical conclusion. The fact that people from those sites (we apologize for not being pinpoint accurate with phrases like "people from those sites," we trust you know who we're talking about.) are disagreeing with this blog's posts and our subsequent comments is ironic. We do as you do. If you gotta problem with us it does pose an interesting dilemma.
One could make the argument that we aren't in this business to help people who are hurting and that's what makes us different than the anti-sgm sites. If that's true then is anything ok to do as long as it's in the name of helping people? Ok, so we're aware that that's a drawing the line logical fallacy. But we aren't trying to prove that we are exactly like those other site. (These other sites? Jim's Site, Kris's Site?) We don't keep a whole list of things that we think is wrong with these sites. They are simply put: Not Biblical. If this blog is a mirror image of a non biblical blog, the argument of "oh yeah, well this blog is doing what you said WE are doing wrong" more proves what we are doing. Well duh! That's what satire is genius! If you see something wrong with this site and what is said here, follow to what we are pointing to. If someone goes around punching people in the mouth thinking it's ok, how soon will he change his ways if someone emulates him? He thinks, "Oooo, so THATS how that feels, I don't think thats the right thing to be doing."
How silly to have that man look back at you and say, "What you are doing is wrong!" and then continue. *chuckles* We would call that man crazy.
The response from these other sites is the same everytime anything is said against them. "Well what about YOU?" Oddly enough, this practice is one that the majority of them claim that SGM leadership does just that; puts the spotlight back to the individual and asks about THEIR heart. Well, I'm sorry, isn't that his job? If you gotta problem with your pastor checking on your heart, the very thing you need at this moment is a good solid heart check from a pastor. But wait, my pastor isn't perfect and he sins. I need to be the one to show him this. *Eyes rolling* Oh brother.

Nice post, Roy.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I love about this blog?
No one reads it.
oh dear. I almost spewed my coffee from laughing at that comment.
ReplyDeleteWow. That was almost as good as an "Oh yea, well YOU shut up!"
-C
Wait, should I be offended that I'm considered "no one"?
Maybe I should start a blog. . . Validate me!
Anti-SGM Satire,
ReplyDeleteSeriously, if "Roy Baylor" is a fake character you invented please admit it and apologize to the readers of SGM Survivors.
Some readers took him seriously and I think an apology is appropriate and would teach them not to be so gullible.
Dude,
ReplyDeleteEric Simmons is calling, "Get out of the basement and do something with your life."
And for the love of God, put some pants on.
...or is it a dress??

I know you guys are getting serious criticism here. Turn to God in your time of need and ask for His help. If you lied, the ends do NOT justify the means. You do need to confess your sin to those you have hurt, but much more importantly confess it to God, ask for His forgiveness.

ReplyDeleteMay we have a new blog which admits getting it totally and utterly wrong?
