The Mars-Hill Megachurch has added churches across the country and in my opinion ruined young lives. So READ THIS ARTICLE if you want to know what is going on in your neighborhood with the anti-women, anti-intellectual, craziness that is sucking in young people, taking over large expanses of real-estate across Seattle and elsewhere, and **purposefully** manipulating and tricking young people into being fundamentalist Christians! This whole movement and these smarmy bastards make me nauseous. Some excerpts: Dietz is extraordinarily well informed in matters of domestic politics and foreign policy, but he interprets all he learns through the book of Revelation. “I don’t know if you know about this,” he tells me, “but there’s a new organization in Israel completing plans for the new temple. Jesus will come back and he’ll take us — well, at least us,” he says, looking at me with a straight face, “and there will be an end to all things.” .... This life of home-bound wifely submission is the opposite of what Judy Abolafya thought she wanted, and the opposite of what she had. Before she met her husband, Ari, Judy toured all over the world with bands like Bush and Candlebox, staying at four-star hotels, living life on her own terms. She made a great income heading up merchandising on tours, managed it well, enjoyed her freedom, and was confident and outspoken. Now she defines that behavior as prideful, even if she misses it. “Everything was great when my conversion happened. I was making money, I was about to take a trip to Mexico, I was totally in control of my life,” she tells me. “My life is much harder, not easier, now that I’m a Christian,” she says, clenching her teeth against Asher’s droning whine. “We had originally planned not to have kids, but now we have to do our best to repopulate our city with Christians.” .... As Ted Dietz noted to me when we were cruising in his pickup truck, discussing Driscolls effectiveness in sowing his evangelical orthodoxy nationwide, “You know the Ben Folds Five song ‘Stan’? It’s just like he sings in that song, really. Once you wanted revolution, now you’re the institution.”
