Blindsided: Douglas Stauffer’s Twitter Tells All (Part Two)

“When a man asks a preacher to preach on a particularly controversial subject knowing that it will open that man to criticism from the fringe, the requester is an unscrupulous manipulator abusing friendships and position. #manipulator”– Douglas Stauffer, (June 5, 2018 at 8:25am)

Later in the week, we presume that Douglas Stauffer was feeling the heat for his statements because of the skeletons it brought into the light, and we feel that he turned around and blamed Pastor Andrew Ray for giving him the subject to preach on in the first place. How was Pastor Ray going to handle another man in the ministry, particularly his friend, practically attacking him online for all to see? Will Stauffer need to go around and apologize to everyone for his statement and will he be removed from all ministries?

According to Pastor Andrew Ray, Douglas Stauffer was referring to Steven Anderson, an outspoken Arizona pastor known for his highly controversial views and teachings on the end times. If that were the case, however, why did Pastor Andrew Ray request that Stauffer remove his post, and why did Douglas Stauffer offer to step down from being a Sunday school teacher because of the post?

Because Douglas Stauffer is staunchly and publicly against the teachings of Steven Anderson, I feel that if his post were truly about Anderson, Stauffer would have said it outright. Judge for yourselves, but in light of Stauffer and Ray’s previous actions, I feel this continues to support the ongoing hypocrisy between the leadership at Antioch Baptist Church and the ungodly influence of Douglas Stauffer.

In this series I share my thoughts and opinions concerning these ministers and the events which led to my departure. Click here to continue reading: “Blindsided: Still Expected to Cheer from the Nursery” or click on a title below. [Links will be added as new blogs are posted.]
