An excellent and timely read: Thou Shalt Not Blog.
This weekend I re-read the resolution against blogging that the Georgia Baptist State Convention passed in November 2007. I’ve printed the Georgia resolution at the bottom of this post. At the time of it’s passage, the resolution got only scant mention in baptist news outlets (here and here). I gather they don’t like critical blogs very much in Georgia – maybe Charlie Daniels’ song should be changed: “The blogger went down to Georgia, he was lookin’ for a soul to steal…”
Yep, SBC leaders – in Georgia and elsewhere – don’t like critical bloggers. They refer to critical blogs as slander, personal attacks, divisive, destructive, and other such adjectives. And there is no question, they would love to exercise their power and influence to shut ’em down if they could, we have hard evidence of such.
