“Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican.
12 I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner.
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” Luke 18:10-14
How does a Christian reach the point of openly sinning without remorse? How does a “man” abuse the pulpit, harass the people of God, and then attempt to scare them into silence, another large situation still yet to come in Stauffer’s dealings with my family? I was not privy to how Douglas Stauffer reached such a level of callousness of heart, whether through military training in endurance and interrogation techniques, or because of embitterment after years in the ministry, but Stauffer made cruel and aggressive behavior behind the scenes a habit, all while craftily criticizing and insulting publicly, and claiming that the end justified the means. During such times, we believe he showed little to no concern for the effects of his actions on others, so long as it benefited him in power, position, or public opinion. As shown in the cases below, Stauffer is not a novice in the world of berating others for his benefit, even on a public platform for all to see or hear, but pay particular attention to the last example where Douglas Stauffer justifies his churlish response to a customer who came across as an “anonymous user” on Facebook.
One Book Rightly Divided (March 23, 2018): “We are taking pre-publication orders of One Book Rightly Divided at www.Bibledoug.com . . . Be forewarned: This is NOT the same book with the same title. Instead of the inherent problems associated with having a single reviewer in the first edition– a Diotrephes at best- we have 49 reviewers on our list across the entire spectrum of Independent Baptists. Many of these men are truly in the likes of Gaius and Demetrius (3 John 9, 12, 1). Those who have read the working copy have given invaluable input for change and exhortation for pressing forward on this groundbreaking work.” (Link)
- Douglas Stauffer (May 25, 2018): “I posted this blog on Monday . . . It will be an appendix in the upcoming release of “One Book Rightly Divided.” Please LIKE and SHARE with those who love to study the Bible and love the truth over the opinions of man. Doug Stauffer and Andrew Ray.” (Link) [A perfect example of potential manipulation for positive reviews!]
- Douglas Stauffer (July 15, 2019): “I just found out that ‘Reviving the Blessed Hope‘ audio book has been live a month ago.…got one review…a ONE star by a hater of the Pre-trib rapture. If you are an audiobook person and have read the book, please consider a review of the book to offset this lie posted by her. Blessings, Doug.” (Link)
- Douglas Stauffer (November 27, 2018): Don’t get me wrong; the post office did a phenomenal job of sending out hundreds of packages and losing very few. HOWEVER, one of the packages to Washington state arrived with only ½ of the books in it. About 6 weeks later, this package arrived with the six missing books. Can anyone calculate how much time it took to tape every square inch of this package and the waste of tape in doing so? Does someone have a job and not enough to do or just no common sense? Privatize the post office and incentivize the workers and we might not lose billions every year. (Link)
The Real Douglas Stauffer:
In conjunction with these minor examples, one will find an actual example below of a conversation Douglas Stauffer posted publicly in response to a customer simply because the customer’s initial message was labeled as “Facebook User” on Facebook Messenger.
One Book Rightly Divided (August 1, 2018 at 6:38am): “We received this message anonymously from ‘Facebook User’ yesterday, but FB won’t let us respond to a bogus account so…here is the message and the answer.
MESSAGE:
I haven’t found anything on return from publisher of One Book Rightly Divided. I’m hoping I haven’t missed the rapture and you’re are not around and I still am.
If that’s the case I have more pressing issues than a book. maybe I should look up the sermon by Peter Ruckman on wat to do if I miss the rapture.
more and more I’m just hoping you have not got it back yet and there is space to repent…if ur around let us know.
One Book Rightly Divided (continued):
ANSWER:
Thank you Facebook User …if you are looking for the publisher website, here it is http:www.mccowenmills.com/, but the book is most easily accessed at www.bibledoug.com. Fortunately, if you are saved (which I hope you are), you cannot miss the rapture, but if you do because you are lost, here is my best advice:
Revelation 12:11 (KJV) And they OVERCAME HIM by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto death.
Trust Jesus and don’t take the MARK!!!!, but it is much better if you trust Him now and miss that whole horrendous period.
The books were delivered a week early (last Friday) but travels have halted the shipping until our return next Monday. If you have ordered the book, I can’t tell since the message is coming from Facebook User (I hope you are not truly a USER and if you are, we will pray that you get over whatever addiction you are USING…could just be hooked on Facebook. In that case, Mark Suckerburger can’t help you, only Jesus can). My BEST advice is to ensure that this is YOUR testimony:
Ephesians 1:3 (KJV) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.
Sincerely, DDS [Douglas D. Stauffer] and ABR [Andrew B. Ray] (attached is the first shipment that went out proving we are still here and you have not been “left behind.” *crying with laughter face*
Public Comment/Response from Keith Patrick:
Excellent; a little accurate update was all I really expected, but thanks, a guess for the other. Im not fully up to date with how to find things on social media, and I have been fed up with people pumping up their “new or new and improved” book, movie or teaching. I’ve heard promises or whatever you care to call it for this book to be out. I just wanted the [latest] update on said promise. For everyone who is able to raise awareness and sell [their] product; few can meet up to expectations of the hype they have created.
Im hoping this is not the case with this book which I am awaiting.
Next time I only will pay for a book that has been printed and won’t fall for pre publication price with extras for speedy shipping.
I don’t know how to take things anymore, but I find most people far too snide.
- Comment/Response from One Book Rightly Divided:
Keithe Patrick … that is so ironic that you are one that showed up as Facebook user (anonymous). Now that I know it is you, I can answer your inquiry with more precise information. Your book and CD radio interview shipped out on Thursday morning along with three free books—One Book Stands Alone (volume 2); The Fingerprint of God and Grace Purpose Giving. We tried to make sure that everyone was rewarded for being so patient in this long process (and the unanticipated delays). In March when you originally ordered, we did not anticipate that the book would be delayed, but expanding it from 276 pages to 844 pages certainly took more time. The book simply kept growing.
Sorry if I took the anonymous nature a bit edgy. My wife has worked 12+ hours a day everyday to get as many books out as possible on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before we left town for meetings on Thursday. Unfortunately, we were only able to fulfill the orders that were made through June; yours was an exception since you had cancelled and reinstated. I left you in the March timeframe so yours was shipped as though the order was made in March.
Anyway, let me know when it arrives and whether there is anything else that I can do to assist you in ministry.
Attached is your shipping confirmation and www.usps.com tracking number: **********************
