@ Velour: (I actually read something recently that was talking about dry January or something to reset your tolerance and although Im sure that wouldnt be promoted by some, it seems like not a bad idea as far as making sure you dont actually have a problem.) Answer: not that much so dial it back. So here it is. That intervention meeting was more than a decade ago, and I know theories can change over time.) Theres a show about morbidly obese people on cable TV, and some of them over eat to medicate pain left over from childhood. despite the nasty barbs. If Junior makes the same mistake that the drunk driver who hit us did, R.C. Hes ordered his parishioners to shun entire families and hes destroyed the faith of many people as a result of his vindictiveness, including small children. I believe God gave me a second chance at life, and I am so grateful! Clearly you didnt read my comment with any understanding of what I was saying. You could maybe argue he could be permitted to be a Pew Potato, but I dont think he should be allowed to remain a preacher. I know that if I told my patient/client they could never change and they might as well give up now and just die, it would not only go against my professional code of ethics, but the passion of my training assisting others to get well. They were medicating mental illness with alcohol. I say this in support of Velour without being critical to either one of you who may have responded from your own pain. Sproul Jr.s case raises. But the church should also do their level-best to get him into treatment since hes a full-blown alcoholic with all of the classic symptoms. Please see the story that Friend posted today about how their churchs clergy dealt with a woman member who struggled with alcoholism. I dont think that an active substance abuser has a good idea of what they want many times, besides the next hit of [substance of choice]. Do they choose their friends among other heavy drinkers? Because I actually get it. It is one thing for someone like R.C. The meshing of the SBC with Calvinists, as Ive witnessed for several years now, both locally and online, has been a great mystery to me. That is also comparing apples to oranges. They see insult where none was intended, and are quick to react and hurl barbs and insults in retaliation. It didnt sober him up but its good for maintenance of the recovery. Sproul 2 has his own household and is not part of his fathers household. Welcome to TWW. I think it is best to take this argument back a bit. It was spiritual abuse, a form of abuse that sounds remarkably similar to the same abuse RC Jr has inflicted on dozens of people. Just that God, even when I was doubting him the most, was faithful.). Velour wrote: In very pious terms of course. I dont have a compulsion to drink. When I had a knee replacement, they always prescribe opioids for the serious post op pain. In reading through the Spinderella blog, I read a number ofcomments which accused SproulJr. of telling people in his former church to stop taking medications for psychiatric disorders. The accusation about St. Peter Presbyterian Church being a cult and RC Sproul Jr being a cult leader was widely assumed for years in Bristol, Virginia especially among pastors in the area. Please stop advocating for his children? Thank you. RC Jrs message has long been that heavy drinking is manly and if you want to be a real man (like him?) There was a need for push back, since in the beginning you never outlined your reasons supporting R.C. Someone earlier said RC Sproul Jr a psychopath. R.C. What was it like in my Patriarchal home, you ask? If not, see our friends at Ancestry DNA. And One Hand Washes the Other. Outpatient treatment is not a bad thing. Sproul, Jr. has a serious drinking problem; The other does not. Is it possible that his son is reacting to the terrible theology he was taught? I also am of the opinion that alcohol does not change who a personal fundamentally is. We are obliged to do the right thing in intervening for OUR sakes as well as theirs: because we are human persons too and our day may come when we are the overwhelmed and in need of the mercy of others. Deb said: Back in 1972 shoulder seat belts werent installed in vehicles. John was born. If not again, according to Christ Jesus, Himself it would be appropriate for the local body to withdraw fellowship. You are strong! He is survived by his wife of 57 years, Vesta; their two children, Sherrie Dorotiak and Robert Craig Sproul; 11 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. In fact, why dont you just ask her opinion of treatment? In this mans case, the police authorities, legal professionals, and the public have observed boughs of demonstrated impairment and the use of Improper judgement. Yes, Christiane, thats precisely how it works. I do wonder why so many people continue to support R.C. Maybe these two guys were separated at birth. Good point, Jeff. Change), You are commenting using your Twitter account. When there are cover-ups to protect the leader, whole families shunned because they dont like the church, those are certainly red flags. Intervention only works when the abuser is willing to submit to a program. The EMTs told me later that they were 100% certain that I would be DOA at the hospital. Youre not drunk if you can lean on the pulpit without holding on. -RC Sproul Jr. Now THAT is a Serious Sauce Hound speaking. I stand corrected. During all my time of distress, nobody in the church was there for me, whether inside or outside a brick building with a cross and steeple. Its fine for you to decide that YOU want to knock it off. How do you realistically deal with the tragedies hes faced with those beliefs? One that would intervene when a pastor went this rogue? Right. But we were in a semi-rural small town exurb and life is like that in smaller circles. The repairs needed to be done from his unit, and he had a simple and logical solution other than letting the plumber into his unit for repairs: If You Just Stop Using Your Shower, We Wont Have a Problem! Made all the sense in the world to him. He also needs treatment and I think his churchs leaders would be wise to consult with a professional who works in substance abuse and figure out how to support him in getting treatment. We did not do that with the lady in question who was going on and on about codependency. The Bible says that those who profess to be brothers in Christ and are drunkards need to be expelled from the church. Each situation is different. As word of these charges spread a number of other former members of St. Peter Presbyterian Church also stepped forward and corroborated the allegations, including the fact that some of their own children had been plied with alcohol without their consent. I speak at CR on behalf of educating, as well as other community organizations supporting families such as AA. As recovering alcoholic Steven King put it, Alkies drink because thats what Alkies do. My mother said He couldnt help it. How does it help children to have an alcoholic parent put out of a church and not gotten into treatment for alcoholics? If Sproul Jr is going to go dry in the culture he built or helped to build in the first place, then hes going to have to have the motivation and gumption to change that entire culture. I wouldnt step foot in a church that wasnt trained to deal with the big issues, including substance abuse, and just kicked people out. Couldnt even stand up. That he is not qualified to serve as a pastor given his abusive history of church members, former church members, and other disqualifying behaviors; He has children and a wife. It wasnt a law back then. It may be all they can do to get help. People were afraid to discuss it. I think a spouse should leave and take the children (better yet kick the addict out of the house) I have seen people who lose their family and job recover and then the family can be restored. As others have shared it sounds like RC Sproul Sr. by trying to save him from the pain of his choices only made things worse for RC Sproul Jr. She did not show that she had no clue. She and R.C. Or do you not know? It does sound phony maybe its not. Why? so I think that the front-loaded moral and ethical formation of a young person in the Church is a kind of preventative and strengthening function, far more positive than punishment. http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=64172013222, http://www.sermonaudio.com/sermoninfo.asp?SID=611171954312. I wont go into too much what I was told when I moved back in by my church family, abandoning God, letting the church down, not having the mind of Christ, succumbing to the world, loving my family more than loving God etc. @ Velour: I can believe it, Leslie, that Christians couldnt safely share this information in their churches about their families without judgment, put downs, and potential gossip. Improper judgement is known to be observed during alcohol impairment. We have to be humble to accept help, especially if you think you should be a perfect Christian. 4. His wet brain led to do something stupid and put him in jail for a year, including 90 days in San Quentin for evaluation. Blessings on you, under the words of Himself about blessed are the peacemakers. I also believe we should take this in context with Matthew 18 and Galatians 6 and James 1 (and maybe others, too). That he is not qualified to serve as a pastor given his abusive history of church members, former church members, and other disqualifying behaviors; As far as anyone can tell it hasnt been reported on. Change). But there is very good help for many problems that has helped and changed peoples lives. I replied because thats the right thing to do, not because its all about [me].. not even to eat with such a one., IMHO, these behaviors are socially dangerous, and therefore, that is why, perhaps the Bible says to not socialize with those who practice these specific 6 in the church. I responded to your comment with a quote from RC Sproul, but the comment is not yet visible, probably because of the words Sproul used. That was applied to believers who were professing to be believers in Christ Jesus, but were living a life of open rebellion and hypocrisy. But her children have been wounded and scarred. Gossip and Condemnation of others is no less sinful than is murder. Barbra said that R.C. Thats the importance of getting them into treatmentand then waiting, praying, and not enabling. Maybe Barbara would support all that stuff is it fair to base your arguments on silence? I summarized the issues with R.C. But Im going to respond a little further. Velour was being hostile to a few people up thread such as Barbara and Julie Anne, and later, to me. Velour, you would be doing a kindness to yourself and everyone else by stepping back and taking time to pray and breathe. That will certainly be my prayer for him, his family, former church members that he has harmed, and present church members that he is harming. 1. a serial killer, That night I was alone, my mother was somewhere around the city or in the hospital, he was in recovery and my nephew was with a neighbor. So very Dark Ages. But now I understand why youve used it. Praise God, that is truly His heart and should be ours. This is inexcusable and seriously hurts your credibility. The story that Friend posted about the love, care, concern, and inclusion that their church and clergy gave to a woman alcoholic member is a testament to the Gospel at work. 4. I really doubt most alcoholics CAN go to inpatient treatment for 30 let alone 90 days. I communicated directly with one of his children and received confirmed that this quote was from one of them (and also received permission to post it here). I am so sorry for all of the abuses, shame, and humiliation that you and your siblings were subjected to. For it to happen they almost always have to have hit rock bottom. Kathleen Melanie (Littlefield) Sproul died April 9, 2021, at her home at the age of 69. So far no response. As I quoted up the thread to Daisy, I have never said that R.C. I think that is all what she was getting at, her basic point. Being a parent of an alcoholic or drug abuser is scary. While some people in Celebrate Recovery may advocate divorce, Al-Anon doesnt take that approach for the spouses of problem drinkers. If a person backslides then they teach this person never was a true believer really never given irresistible grace.. Back in 1972 shoulder seat belts werent installed in vehicles. Velour wrote: He was sentenced to 1 year and 183 days incarceration. The Bible among other things, is used to provide nourishment to ones soul, to give guidance, to provide proper understanding, to strengthen faith, to provide hope, and to give us examples of the love of God, that we may sincerely do likewise; also to establish order within the body of believers. Velour wrote: Radiology was the only thing I was board certified in. I keep telling our kids that living well is the best revenge and so far, I think theyre listening, but my heart grieves over these other young lives that are going to waste, almost as if they are desperate to fulfill the pastors and their parents grim prophecies about what happens to those who leave the straight(jacket) and narrow(minded) way. You deal really well with troubled waters. Maybe my white coat still hanging in the back of my closet may still have a blood stain which did not wash out. For me these people are PURE EVIL!! all my kids of alcoholics now use my term stupid juice for alcohol because your intelligent parent becomes an intellectual & moral moron when drinking & think they can lie with impunity. Hospitalization with detox and follow-up care by his physician She said, he needs to be born again as this persistent pattern of behaviour shows he is NOT regenerate and is NOT in Christ at all. In my view and experience with RC Jr shes absolutely correct. His three other criminal charges, two misdemeanors and one other felony, were dismissed under a plea agreement in exchange for his pleading guilty to the one felony. You are correct. JYJames, thank you so much for posting that scripture reference and the phrases in it. You want to see whence my fury? However, he was considered a,dry drunk,never stopped his stinking thinking. But with my Christian friends and family I am often second guessed. All Death, Burial, Cemetery & Obituaries results for Vesta Ann Voorhis. Velour, we get your point (how could we fail to see it when youve made it so many times?). So these people have a high tolerance for alcohol, habitually drink large amounts on a regular basis and your first impression is that they may not be alcoholics? (dont have the V in front of me). I think its the same person. link. Then he orders his church to shun the entire family, including small children. We all grieve over our grown children when they inflict pain on themselves and others knowing that most of the time our help is rejected. And even if they remain in their brand of the church, its a pretty poor imitation of Christianity: all surface appearance and no substance. I posted my earlier reply to you too soon and I didnt answer your point. At least until this article. Thank-You Love! I just learned of Sproul Jr. Today. R.C. I posted that list to you multiple times. I went through something similar, only no one died, I was 18 and driving, and the driver who hit me was not drunk he was undergoing chemo, wasnt supposed to be driving. The legal issue with Sproul 2 is that he wasnt diverted to the substance abuse court which dealt with misdemeanors and he was being charged with felonies. Some of the members (not necessarily the elders) of that church were indeed empathetic and caring, and went out of their way to meet with those who had been put out of the church. I know this. The responsibility of a pastor/leader is FAR greater, not less. I think theres a mixing of apples and oranges here, and its been going on since the very start of this thread. This is normal for their family. The point of it is to not enable the bad behavior. If he Sproul gets clean and sober he will probably ditch many ideas that he used to justify including patriarchy. And, it would have been in the interest of RC1 to try to coverup any misbehavior by RC2 that reflected poorly on RC1, especially in the covenant child framework of Covenant Theology. So, I got to thinking, how does sitting in a church help someone conquer alcoholism? Years ago, I led a Bible study of workplace colleagues in which a young man confessed that he was struggling with excessive drinking because he was the son of an alcoholic. Wonder what will happen to churches or SBC leaders if they are not willing to sign off on this resolution? @ Velour: ALL LIES. Sr didnt dissuade them he encouraged it. also has some unhealed issues, and perhaps might be from an alcoholic family or otherwise dysfunctional family. Sr. cant make Jr. stop drinking. I told him I had not been praying specifically for him (I hadnt even been thinking of him at all) but that I had been praying in general for the conversion of souls. I have read it several times, actually. He sounds like he has inflicted terrible damage on many peoples lives, and for that I am sorry. Sproul was born on February 13, 1939 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA. I enjoy reading here! This!! She couldnt help it that she forgot so quickly. And I have found their parents, spouses or girlfriends (depending on their marital status), to be enablers, capable of cover-ups and lying. 2. Robert C Sproul III & Vesta Ann (Voohis) - Engagement The Bible says that those who profess to be brothers in Christ and are drunkards need to be expelled from the church. 3. He gave several steps to be taken in dealing with a professed believer who is living a life of rebellion against God. Not born again huh? Many people lurk on TWW and dont post here. Ill also know when I start to hear from some of the others he did the same to and they let me know hes confessed and repented to them too. 1960. Yes it would be nice, but I just dont see it happening. The pain is awful, particularly when loved ones have been snatched away because someone foolishly chose to drink and drive. This is fallacious. I was not laughing at alcoholics. I am not sure that you know my background. What he did was wrong. I didnt consider Barbaras post to be nasty to you. I did some research. Jeff, I hear you, brother. But as others have said, if he doesnt go into treatment voluntarily and want to get help, it will do no good. an invitation to share his/her story. He calls it contumacy and breaking your covenant vows. You could join St. Peter Presbyterian easily but just try leaving without his permission, and getting permission was impossible unless you had a good reason to be moving far away. Just last week our District Attorney got brought up on 13 felony counts. Maybe the congregation in question would give the same love and grace to someone in a pew. Does this mean I dont support CR, AA, and other support groups? @ Max: Steven King, recovering alcoholic, (King relates this in the autobiographical first half of his nonfiction book On Writing. @ Velour: @ Friend: But one thing I learned a long time ago is that if I really love them Ill let them suffer the consequences of their actions. He got to tell me he loved us kids, my sister was incarcerated and my brother was living in another state. Not that youre to blame for it. He excommunicates entire families for the alleged sins of just one family member. To summarize but also fill in some gaps: If RC Jr could have legally used the rack at St. Peter Presbyterian Im confident he would have, at the very least, held out the threat of its use. The recidivism statistics bear this out, and the treatment programs are just as disappointing. Abuse is a different issue. Trying to live love and help my husband. To paraphrase a 1950s interview with a trailer-trash Ku Kluxer: and me on Friday evening: Barbaras comment on Friday at 5:40 p.m. Most, not all, have btdt with the Church. http://thewartburgwatch.com/2017/06/21/rc-sproul-jr-is-now-a-convicted-felon-alcoholic-and-is-one-step-away-from-a-tragedy/comment-page-1/#comment-329719. Soas far as you know they have adequate job performance, soso did Winston Churchill. So for right now thats as much as Im going to say, at least until I can start to feel like this is a safe place. In keeping with that opinion I do not feel that it is my responsibility to try to make anybody agree with me on this issue, nor my responsibility to agree with anybody else not even agree with the majority opinion should there be such a thing. mot wrote: I agree that Sproul 2 shouldnt be enabled by his father, Sproul 1. 1939 R. C. Sproul was born on February 13, 1939 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA as Robert Charles Sproul. Al-Anon is extremely beneficial and informative, albeit unpleasant. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ukD8zj6ngVY. Remember Ashley Madison? I was thanked earlier today by one of the TWW lurkers who struggles with alcohol and was terribly upset by what was said about people with this condition. Nor is it brave of me to admit here in public that Im diabetic its not an admission at all, any more than it is to say that I have perfect pitch (musically) but that, at almost 49, I need glasses these days to read small print. I guess human pain all has to go somewhere until it ends up at the Cross where it can be laid down so it cannot hurt anyone else. I read that on Wade Burlesons blog. A sermon wont cure my chronic conditions, but it might have an insight that helps me. Im new here, havent been to this website before. which doesnt answer your question at all, and indeed I dont suppose improves on what you could have said yourself! 1 Corinthians 5:11-13. And its important to try. Why? Barbara could have easily included treatment for alcoholism in her comment. Bike Bubba, If you look at his personal history (Google has tons), you will see chronic and persistent sin throughout his adulthood. But we do know what RC Sproul teaches, and it is very damaging. This may be the cause of the confusion. I see this correction has been made. The Bible says that those who profess to be brothers in Christ and are drunkards need to be expelled from the church. Being a believer, in that crowd, has little to do with belief and everything to do with appearances. Sproul 2 has done. That was the last time I saw him alive. You responded to me that you think that Sproul 2: should be put out based on his ongoing chronic abuse behaviors, some behaviors that have not been mentioned here (including his abuse of alcohol which has put kids in harms way).. To have her fall stark naked in front of you and others? Velour was being hostile to a few people up thread such as Barbara and Julie Anne, and later, to me. Like Mr Sin-Leveler higher in the thread, I just chalked that up to Christianese Boilerplate. However it might have happened, we did not see it until we were out. I didnt know he was a dry alcoholic. Not impressed. Heres where it can be complicated to be part of the church if the church environment is where hes long been allowed to play out sinful behaviours should he be there right now? I am not in that camp as that is an extreme position and there is much more that is known now about helping people with addictions. You have taken this quote out of context . Im not sure that we disagree? Ones dad ritually abused her as a baby, and another one doesnt even know his dad. ; but it seems that Velour is like Christ n her desire to see this man reconciled in his relationship to God and with his fellow man. Perhaps you missed Barbaras comment on Friday at 5:40 p.m. to H.U.G. Later it was discovered that his late wife Denise either lived in a town with toxic waste problems or went to a school that had toxic waste problems. I moved back in to help with my nephew and a bit with him for a few years. The best insights and advice a family will ever get about an alky family member is from other alkies. Kind of like connecting Lizzie Borden to a lumberjack because both of them used an ax. I lost a cousin to drunk driving incident many years ago- she was a mother of one child. If he has been drinking as long as is being alleged, Sproul is at high risk of offending again. The record of his life, the record he created and boasted about in his own sermons and publications, the record he established boozing it up in front of his church members, proves that RC Sproul Jr has been abusing the booze for many many years prior to his personal family tragedies. For example check out the DSM regarding personality disorders and note the dysfunctional behaviors attached to the diagnoses and note the link between the dysfunctional behaviors and the diagnosis-not everything is due to some prior trauma-not in the eyes of those whom we trust to know about these things. Perhaps she is basing it on much more than that. The surgeon told me no steel plate because if my body had rejected it, I would not have survived a second surgery to remove the plate. This comment seems especially relevant. Perhaps on my wedding anniversary. Rank Hath Its Privileges. One time, his daughter invited me to the Sproul house for a sleepover. It got depressing, I have lost well over 200 of the people I worked with, most of them younger than I am. @ jeff: Even pre-internet, a person could lug out their printed Yellow Pages phone book and look up the names of psychologists and so on. That he should get treatment; and Yeah, this is exactly why I left church behind. In Sprouls case his problems go much deeper than alcoholism. You and I differ on this, and I see no agreement between us on the issue of what is the rightful place of the church in such matters. Have you not caught up? Barbra said that R.C. Not always. . Please stop advocating for other family members of substance abusers and how the church treats them? Its all been taking place for many years prior to the loss of his wife and daughter. He has made some very poor choices, many of which have directly harmed his family. Believe me, I am all for treatment, and I am extremely frustrated that there seems to be no way to help someone who doesnt want treatment, whether they deny they have a problem, or they admit that they have a problem but they dont want treatment anyway. If you think that is hateful, your gripe is with the Bible not with me. She's given me permission to share her letter and you can use it as you deem fit. I wholeheartedly agree with your comment. That is odd. My concern about Barbaras comment is that at no time did she mention in-patient medical treatment for R.C. (P.S. I get that church is not just a building, its people. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot produce good fruit. Would love to see some stats on that. I dont think we can assume that a person not mentioning getting treatment in a blog post means they dont believe in people getting treatment. Yes, the pain is awful. Sproul Jr., and his wife, Lisa. I am not the one who is talking about diagnosis or treatment variables. However, Lisa (Sproul?) It is complex. or an idolater, [worshiping false gods] In the meantime, here is the link: http://www.ligonier.org/blog/forsaken-jesus-became-curse/. Please work on that.
