Oh no, don't feel bad, I had a HUGE laugh over this. He was the talk of the home-schooling community for years.
I mean, how can you NOT laugh at a guy who preached that signing the paper that came with your cabbage patch doll was breaking the first commandment and that having your kids promise to "love" a doll meant that they would never be able to or want to have their own godly family full of real souls.
uhh let's see, what else... the guy thinks you need to perform exorcisms on your DNA after finding out all the sins of your ancestors and that divorce is never ever okay under any circumstances unless you're a jew because Matthew 19:9 is only about jewish betrothal, OH! and women shouldn't work outside the home and you should buy your house with one single payment of cash (can you even DO that?).
He verbally condemned Bill Gaither and Sandy Patti for being for making corruptive music that was too "Contemporary" for the Body of Christ and therefore responsible for leading astray the souls of our youth. Nothing like "if the beat falls on 2 and 4, it's 'of the devil'".
He also has this amazing ability to yank a snip of a passage and ignore everything around it. Some of his failures at exegesis are the stuff of legend among the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church.
He's right up there on the crazy charts with Benny Hinn and the "Holy Ghost Enema". I shouldn't laugh so hard, but it's REALLY hard for me to grasp that these people can possibly be serious about the ridiculous words that are coming out of their mouths despite the fact that they really, truly are quite serious.
