Joy why do you look so stupid?

Speaking at a recent church conference, pastor @JohnMacArthur told attendees that mental illness doesn’t exist.

He also implied children who take medications due to mental health diagnoses are turned into “a potential drug addict” or “potential criminal.”

@MikeWingerii I guess you’re only “especially” interested in your own answers, huh?

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@johnnarae @reachjulieroys @oldreepicheep Wouldn’t you agree that analysis is more responsible, ethical, and meaningful AFTER the facts have been reported to the extent possible? Are you sure you want to advocate that journalists should provide analysis without reporting?

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@MikeWingerii Thanks for the 4.5 hours. Now this is enough from you. (For anyone who would like to see how Jesus actually empowers women, feel free to watch the sermon about 30 minutes in here: https://t.co/v01SYVtcTr)

@NateSchlomann You seem like an unpleasant fellow

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@ShaileeLundy CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@pastortimbrooks @jgils Yeah this one was actually one of the “exceptions” I was allowing. It’s a crapshoot every time.

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@pastortimbrooks @jgils Exactly. Although given the comments in the first five minutes since he’s posted I’m starting to see why “large gatherings of pastors” could be a problem for him 😂

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@jgils It is a Very Jon list. Come to think of it, the only real surprise here to me was “pie” 😂

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@jgils With a couple exceptions, this is without a doubt the most egregious list I have seen so far.

@brian_goldstone Email sent. Thanks for sharing.

@LifeLongNazaren This one about made me throw my phone into the sun.

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@FloRoberts93 @feminINEnotIST One of us is struggling here for sure.

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@FloRoberts93 @feminINEnotIST I’m sorry you see dysfunction in difference. I hope your children are very much like you.

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@FloRoberts93 @feminINEnotIST This is a sadly stunted response. Healthy marriages don’t mean marriages between people who agree constantly. It’s possible to be challenged by someone who is unlike you, then grow rather than just seek “compatibility.” Growth through difference is difficult but rewarding.

[Tara Thomas Smith @MsRevTS]

@jgils @BrianZahnd I remember you recommended that in the old Netflix mail-in days, and it was in my queue forever but I kept bumping up—you’re gonna hate this—every season of “24” instead! 😳😂

This has got to be the saddest tweet+comments I’ve ever read. To recognize a problem like this and conclude “the powers and principalities just win I guess” speaks to the hopelessness we’ve let eek into our theology. Friends—friends!!—Jesus calls us friends. The news is good.

[Matt Tebbe @matttebbe]

A word about the hazards of being a pastor and friendship:

We can’t really be friends with the people we spend the most time with.

There’s power differentials there, layers of responsibility and commitments that make “peer to peer friendship” impossible. +
