Watch this Wednesday, May 2nd at 9:00pm FOX 9 Investigators (Twin Cities ch 9)

[Roger Dodger]

Classic Suzanne Van Dyck- I wouldn't have expected anything else from her.  She has the limelight to bring her case to the jury of the world on how she was sexually abused by MD?  We look forward to the evidence of her her being abused FINALLY being shared, 4 months later!!!  

[Peacemaker03]

UffDa, not that I don't believe you, but I'd be interested in how you know it's going to be on Fox9 this Wednesday.  Is there a link to a preview or something?

[Linda]

We all found out from Digital Lynch Mob yesterday morning. Before that, I had no clue when it would air.

they are running promos for the story

It is also interesting that FOX also runs stories on those falsely accused. I'm sure lawyers are waiting in the wings if it becomes slander with no proof against Mark. Lots of money to made from FOX. I have said before that I wasn't there like many of you must have been. In a court of law this case will look very different. I hope Suzanne isn't sued if she truly is innocent and that she has her facts together on this for her own legal protection. It could go bad for her if it is a false accusation or even if the accusation is valid but it is innappropriately tried on TV with poor legal consultation.

Isthisreal?, are you able to bring legal expertise to this discussion?

[G_Prince]

Actually yes. The digital footprint of the forum and social media will be around forever. It is very easy to see who people really are.
I'd be careful what you saty and who you call out so you don't end up in court someday. Speaking to both sides here.

I read this today in the paper and thought it fits what goes on here. Not Biblical so you don't need to call me a cult member.

"When a stupid man is doing something he is ashamed of, he always declares that it is his duty." -George Bernard Shaw
It is not anyones duty to blame, speculate, gossip and possibly slander others half of you don't know and a church you don't go to. You may think it is but in a court of law it isn't.

Good bye Mark Darling. It was a nice show of 30 years and 1oo million stolen. See you on Fox News.

[Greentruth]

Why doesn’t the last couple of posts surprise me. This is the face of this form for all to see. What would Jesus say?  Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do. I personally struggle with those that joyfully gloat in others pain.

[Barb]

I highly doubt that the previous two posts are a reflection of the majority of the people on this forum. Most people I’ve spoken with who believe the victims are greatly grieved and sorrowful over this whole mess.

[Greentruth]

When you stand hand in hand in most accusations and discussions, it does reflect. If what blonde and prince post is not to your agreement, you should say as much. Otherwise all for one, and one for all.

[Mary7]

Green truth, you  either do not believe or understand what many people here have said from the beginning— there is no joy to be found in this situation. You cannot force people to write a response just because you have decided the new forum rule that it’s “All for one.”

I have never watched a Simpsons episode but I watched a clip on YouTube to try to understand GPrince’s meme...I didn’t put a lot of effort into dissecting the scene but this is where my mind went: acting religious and talking angry jibberish at/past each other is pretty accurate.

[Barb]

Greentruth, by your logic then, you must agree with EVERY post written by people defending Mark. Is that true?

[Peacemaker03]

Saw the promo last night.  We'll see, I'll withhold opinion on the subject until I see the segment on Wednesday. 

To those above trying to group either side's opinion into all agreeing with the most caustic voice, JUST STOP IT!  Both sides do it, yet still try to blame the other side for it.  It's just like politics in America today.  Both side have a majority that is fairly moderate, but that isn't seen, as we'd rather pay attention to the minority voices that get paid attention to more becauase they have the "courage" to say things that are more ridiculous, and then other people want the moderates to defend the crazy beliefs of those at our extremes.  Here's  a theory for all, just stop paying attention to those extreme voices, as they're only doing in to stir the pot.  There's nothing I can do about it on the national stage as the networks will continue to give them voice 24/7.  But on this forum, we can just choose to ignore them.

[Greentruth]

Barb, do you support what bonde wrote?  I have seen a select few incidents when someone expressed dislike of an action from a form regular. That was when an individual sent Mark and Jeromy hate emails with even vulgar sexual content.  I probably have not read every single post from those defending ECC and Mark, but the vast majority I would say REFLECTS the concerns and even disgust of the level of attacks some have expressed. I have seen a few over the top comments that a few have called out, and some who asked forgiveness for letting their sadnesses show in not such a gracious manner. From the level of attack against the Church and people we love, I think everyone has been pretty forgiving.

Peacemaker, I would agree most times,but when such hateful remarks are made, I would think someone who advocates that member would voice a concern.

Haha. I thought Prince's post was a lighthearted and hilarious response to a sad attempt to intimidate people into not talking. I wholeheartefly agree with the sentiment, assuming I understand it correctly. This is simply not how courts work, and I'm not worried about saying what I think is true here.

I agree blonde should not be rejoicing in this. No matter who is telling the truth, this is a sad situation and people will be hurt. I think the vast majority of people here agree with that, and have already made that clear. They are under no obligation to respond again.

No one or two people on this forum represent the views of everyone on this forum any more than the horrible attacks and words from Jeremy and other ECC super supporters represent the views of all Christians. Thank goodness.

What saddens me is that the two commentors we are discussing (blonde and G prince) have some significant input into the beginnings of GCM Warning.  G Prince is the original founder (or one of 4 people) of the forum, and pretty sure it was Blonde(who went by a different name then)  had started a blog before the forum (and the original wordpress site), a blog filled with obscenities and hate directed towards MD.   So coincidence that Blond found his way to this forum, from the very beginning?  Coincidence?

Oh irony in this, that people telling us that what these two people say does not matter, and we should essentially ignore them.  Ignore the fact that they have been here from the very beginning and have influenced what GCMWarning is at it's core.   

[Barb]

Greentruth, so you can rest easy, I will state clearly I do not support any post that I can recall of Blonde and I do not agree with G_Prince’s above quote. I highly doubt that you will believe me, but I will say once again that I take no joy in any of this and my heart is sorrowful, yet still hopeful that God will be glorified.

Peacemaker, I agree 100% with what you said. I assume that every person is speaking for themselves and them alone. I do not assume that someone’s failure to comment on someone else’s comment means anything at all. Silence means silence, nothing else.

I agree mostly, and thank you for your attempts to keep the discussion civil. Prince usually has the bully smart alicyclics posts that attempt to humiliate. This is not a humorous matter, and many are suffering horrendous pain in this. I couldn’t imagine the pain of what some have taken this whole situation to. Some here have been hurt, but they have not had the humiliation of the extent or degree Mark and his family have had in the social media etc.  They have been accused,judged, and sentenced on this form and social media. Something I have never witnessed in my life.

[Greentruth]

Barb, hank you, and yes I do believe you.
