That&#039;s why I&#039;m considering a new nickname for Driscoll: Mark Dris-cavige.

Mind you, only those in the know about the Co$ will get it...]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is incredibly painful to watch unfold. I grew up in an unhealthy and moderately authoritarian church and Christian school with a couple of leaders who, if given the chance, would have become Mark Driscoll. It really is like watching people needlessly endure an abusive marriage.]]></description>

I had a similar experience when I left Fellowship Church in DFW (the home of Ed &quot;The Bed&quot; Young).  After I left, when I visited a few months later one person spoke to me to inform me about the sad passing of one of the associate pastor&#039;s sons (both had MD and were in end stages).  Otherwise, nearly two decades later I&#039;ve only had dealing with TWO people from there: a former friend who had turned on me (but later on he repented and admitted his actions were wrong, tragically he died two years ago) and my domestic partner.  I&#039;ve lived in the same house with the same address and phone number for over two decades so it&#039;s not like I&#039;m hard to find if someone from there wanted to find me.]]></description>

True, though people at Mars Hill got caught up in Driscoll&#039;s psychological manipulation, workplace bullying, and spiritual abuse. So we are seeing it again at Driscoll&#039;s current church.]]></description>
