Detwiler Still Doggedly Pursuing the Fleeing Mahaney

Brent Detwiler
Brent Detwiler is offering more on the subject of Mahaney's shop of horrors.  The outside mediators, Ambassadors of Reconciliation, had a thankless task of reviewing SGM's track record and will issue a report--we're led to believe--by the end of March, 2012.  Thus far, Mahaney bolted from Elders and the Church he founded in Gaithersburg, MD.  He'll been headed west (high speed no doubt) to Kentucky, probably Louisville, to resume some sort of operations there.  Al Mohler, Mark Dever, and Ligon Duncan will be and have been enthusing at the T4G-operation in Louisville, KY, 10-12 April 2012.  Recently, Dave Harvey refused to be on the new SGM Board.  Time will tell, but Brent is still in pursuit of reform and responses.  Further responses to Brent by SGM simply will not happen.  At this point, "DC" ops--a Navy term for "damage control" for fires or combat ops afloat and aboard Naval vessels--have been underway.  Exculpate Mahaney, burnish the lucrative brandname, retain the image, get on with things, put the Detwiler-documents in the rear view mirror, weed out dissenters, and move on to "a new target audience without the past baggage."  Brent offers his update at:  http://www.brentdetwiler.com/brentdetwilercom/2012/2/28/an-appeal-for-ted-kober-to-expose-dave-harvey.html

Two days ago, I sent the correspondence that follows to Ted Kober, President of Ambassadors of Reconciliation. I asked him to provide answers to three questions by noon today. In so doing, I hoped for a private response but I’ve heard nothing. It is now 2:00 pm. I must share my appeal in public. It is also relevant to every leader and person in SGM.

Over the past 7 years, I asked C.J., the SGM Board, and others, hundreds of vital questions. Normally those inquiries were totally ignored. Over the past two years, I made scores of specific charges backed up by evidence and asked for a defense. No defense was given 98% of time except for vague denials. Over the last 7 months, I requested that any errors in my writings be corrected. More silence. C.J., Dave, the SGM Board and others remain unaccountable.

The SGM Board also put a muzzle on justice by forbidding her to speak openly and freely before neutral judges. The three panel approach was their crowning achievement. It gave the appearance of justice to the naïve; while securing a miscarriage of justice apparent to the discerning. No judge in American would allow such a bogus proceeding in their courtroom. Moreover a host of people would have gone to jail for criminal activity including perjury, jury tampering, the suppression of evidence, and the denial of due process. Every statutory standard for the hearing of evidence in a court proceeding was done violence.

This is due in large part to the craft and cunning of Dave Harvey. In the piece below, I ask Ted to boldly expose Dave for his ongoing lying, deceit and manipulation. Corruption has only increased over time. Thousands of people in SGM churches have been deceived. They’ve been told to trust their leaders, believe the best of C.J. and Dave, not read my materials and refrain from “divisive” discussions with others. All the while storm clouds keep gathering.

Dear Ted,
I need to share honestly with you. The hour is late. Your report is due soon. Please let me be direct without it being misinterpreted as a lack of love or gentleness.

First, I believe you have been taken advantage of and manipulated by the SGM Board. Second, I think you have been timid in addressing evil, ignored evidence, been unwise in what you’ve proposed and failed to oppose the three panel approach as unjust. I hope you acknowledge all of these in your March report.

I need to continue my appeal for boldness and share more of my concerns with you based upon our conversation and interactions the past month. In particular, I want to warn you again regarding Dave Harvey. He cannot and should not be trusted. He is a master manipulator and consistent liar.

Tragically, the SGM Board has followed his corrupt example and been duped by him. Just like C.J., he has not been held accountable by the SGM Board or his local elders.

Proverbs 27:5-6 says, “Better is open rebuke than love that is concealed. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.” C.J. and Dave have been kissed many times by men who benefit from their favor. To date, none of their “friends” have been willing to rebuke them in the open. A true test of love is the willingness to reprove. They are surrounded by man pleasers who are afraid of the consequences that come with offending them.

Lady Wisdom is correct. Proverbs 9:7-8, “He who corrects a scoffer gets dishonor for himself, and he who reproves a wicked man gets insults for himself. Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, reprove a wise man and he will love you.”

Recently I sent you and others “Mush-Minded Invertebrates” with the following note. It is the need of the moment.
