why do people spread lies about rebecca brown?
- No one spreads lies about her. One of the biggest problems I've noticed with her and her fans is the abundance of what are called logical fallacies, in other words, circle thinking and non-falsifiability. Every time something bad happens to her, a conspiracy is blamed. Every person that disagrees, their accused of being in on it too. The courts that convicted the two of them? In on it. Medical Board? In on it too. This is very bizarre and frankly disturbed thinking. It's like Uncle Leo on Seinfeld. Bank turns him down? Anti-semetists. Waiter brings the soup too slow? He must be an anti-semite too. The logic just goes round and round.
- The fact of the matter is, most of the info in the article is supported by news, court records, and law enforcement. Deleting it because you don't like it is an act of censorship, and under Wikipedia policy, will not be tolerated. If you have a reputable source to support your claim, such as a medical journal, scientific publication, accredited mainstream news source, etc. by all means please place it under references and make changes appropriate to that source.Legitimus (talk) 03:14, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Book Summary
I noticed the book summary of Unbroken Curses kind of stands out in this article. This article is supposed to just be about this person, and it seems superfluous, considering Rebecca has written many books, and there does not seem to be a readily apparent reason this one was chosen, and why it has such a long and detailed summary. What say you? Legitimus (talk) 17:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree that this entire article is rife with unsourced opinion, inflammatory language, and clearly biased commentary. Brown is not on an active "campaign against Satanists" but has what is called a "delieverance ministry". And unbeknownst to the article's author, there are those other than "fundementalist" christians, who believe in the need to free people from oppressive spirits and spiritual bondage.
As one who has taken the time to read her books, Brown believes in the 1611 King James Bible as an inerrant Word of God, the authority, and bases all of her practices on its Word. If people have a problem with her, they no doubt have a problem with God's Word because Brown is on the up and up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Madisonsquare (talk • contribs) 21:10, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Fair enough. I see what you mean by that first part. Just remember that there is no "one author" of this article. It's wikipedia so many hands have been in the pot. And this article was migrated just a few months ago, so it's real history was lost.
