Filters Out, Comes Off Nicely

Here is my over-simplification of his re-statement...

I meant what I said... but if it looks like I am apologizing without apologizing, then all those who are not "Bible-believing, Jesus-loving" (aka "my critics") will get off my case. So, I am going to "clarify", or restate in a nice way, and hope that it comes off as an apology.

One of the things that MD talks about in the original post is the great protection he has surrounded himself with. You know, the pastor needs a pastor, his heterosexual male assistants, everyone having access to his email, and all...My question then is: Is there no one filtering what comes out?? Are the filters only on the stuff going in? Because, it seems that the stuff that is coming out is a potentially damaging as the stuff going in.
