Ron Wyatt talking about Jesus's blood sample.

My last post was about a wacky religious advertisement full of bizarre claims by the late Ron Wyatt (an 8 page, so called "Newsletter" ) that an advertising client had bought space for as an insert in the newspaper I work for.
I was hoping one of our subscribers would complain & write a letter to the editor about this blatant attempt to bamboozle the religious community.
Blogger Infidel, even proposed that a moderate Christian might be offended enough to do so.
So far, the offensive material has generated 2 real life responses....
1. An older man came into the office and bought a stack of that particular paper as he was so taken by the religious advertisement, he wanted to share it with his friends & family.
2. I initiated a conversation with the local 7th Day Adventist minister, & asked him what he thought of the claims that were being made,(the group that is passing this stuff off claims to be an off-shoot of the 7th Day Adventist Church). The minister told me that when he was involved in a church in Puerto Rico he had personal dealings with the late Ron Wyatt. In fact Mr. Wyatt had ripped his church off. The Church had even later taken Wyatt to court. This minister also agreed with me that Wyatt was a con man & a blatant liar, I asked him why no one in the Christian community was speaking up about this drivel. He said they didn't want to be singled out or persecuted. He then promised to submit an article for publication about how he felt about the insert & what he knew to be true about Ron Wyatt.

We'll see if he follows through with it. :)

I find it an interesting phenomena that Christians are so unwilling to speak up about blatant abuses that happen within their own religion.
We are NOT living in the Dark ages. Individuals in America are NOT are killed or tortured for speaking up about religious abuses.
What gives? Could it be that the majority of Christians mistake legitimate criticism from the outside for a non existent but perceived persecution? Or is it the fear of ostracism from their own kind that that holds them back?
