“And as I get on the plane, he begins to talk to me and I begin to realize that his doctrine is corrupt.... And when I get there [Belgium], he begins to manifest issues of homosexuality. He wants me to be his really good spiritual friend, quote unquote.... I see how easily the church can be tricked.... Now you listen to this — we must protect ourselves as the church of the living God. We must protect from heresies and false doctrines and false prophets who would lead the very elect away.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“To the extent Ogle seeks damages based on the [Church of Godj’s decision to suspend him or the loss of his reputation within the [Church of God], Ogle’s claims might be barred by this rule. An inquiry into these damages might require consideration of whether the defamation caused the [Church of God]’s employment actions, thereby inviting an exploration of the church’s motives. A secular court cannot take this step.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“And I began to perceive that his doctrine was corrupt.... [H]e also wanted me to become his very good friend.... And I’m waiting on him to come back now from Belgium to face me, because I plan to face him in a counsel of ordained bishops and declare the man to be a heretic.... Because the enemy tried to take prophesy and the word of God and mesmerize me and take me out. This lawsuit by Ogle followed.”
