Why we do what we do.

Simply put, this blog exists because there is no response to the anti sgm sites in question. Nothing will appease them except for SGM to change things according to SGMsurvivors and SGMrefuge's standpoints. We still find this wildly funny. The thesis statement (as far as we can tell) of these web blogs is thus: WE think SGM should change to what WE think it should look like. (Oh btw, many of these people left over disagreements with SGM) We thought when you disagreed with a group or organization you just left it. We disagree with PETA, our weblog over at petasurvivors.com is a list of demands for how PETA should change what they believe and think.
This is humorous on so many levels. First, there seems to be a fascination with SGM. These people left or according to some were loaded into a medieval trebuchet and catapulted off the church grounds and are now enviously looking back at that church wishing they could be there again. There seems to be way too much concern for trying to change others that radiates from these sites. Wasn't the idea of "you can't change anyone else" self evident the first time you heard it?
Well, determined to prove that biblical principle wrong outright, these web sites really put the time and effort in.
Everything remotely connected to SGM is wrong to some degree. Even the authors that SGM likes can't escape these blogs wrath. The girltalk blog is attacked for having a picture of smiling girls on the front and without reading the actual blog posts the entire site is condemned for being stepford wife-ish based on the front picture. Jerry Bridges is attacked for writing a book entitled, "The Joy of Fearing God." It's attacked by people who never read the book, they literally judged the book by it's title and cover. Rich Richardson is attacked for publicly apologizing to his church, it was said that he only apoligized to the richest person in the church so he wouldn't lose their tithe. The list continues ad vomitum. We've yet to hear one of the "regulars" on these (those) sites who has anything nice to say about SGM. We'll take something as little as, "they picked a good color carpet for the sanctuary." The reality is: according to these antiSGM weblogs, there is no good whatsoever in SGM. The people there actualy encourage people to leave their SGM church. If this isn't division and dissension then we don't know what is. The fact that SGMrefuge is over here commenting about our syntax and grammar is an indication of this blog hitting a very raw nerve. We understand people are hurting, but lets be honest, everyone experiences this. The public record of offenses is expressly PROHIBITED by the very word of God. It will in no way contribute to healing of past offenses. You must adopt a Nike mindset, "Just Do It." If a Pastor has offended you or sinned against you, will you freaking forgive him already?! If SGM has injured you greviously will you please just forgive the organization as a whole? If CJ has sinned against you, forgive the poor man and don't mount an assault on him. Don't collect mounds of information on all the instances of Pastors screwing up or leaders not being the perfect people that you set in your expectations with the intent of telling CJ his movement is crumbling. Who does that? What an earthly, worldy mindset. Christian vigilante justice in the form of extreme "observation" is stealing glory from God, and God will not be mocked. He is universally opposed to it. God says He will give Grace to the humble man and oppose the proud. From where we sit, the absence of CJ and the other leaders coming onto your sites to defend themselves (if you are all truly right in how big your influence is) is the mark of a humble man. The secretive plans and gossiping slander of the people who are injured, making sure that no one ever forgets how they were wronged is the mark of an outwardly proud and arrogant individual and God promises His opposition to you and your endeavors.
