What did they lie about?
They lied plenty about my church and my pastor! I recall one memorable time when they issued a press release stating that Cecil Sherman didn't believe in the miracles of the Bible. The very next Sunday, Dr. Sherman preached on the reality of Biblical miracles just to stick it in their eye!Dr. Sherman is most definitely a theological conservative but he first got on the wrong side of the Southern Baptist Powers That Be back in the 50s when he led the fight to integrate his and other Baptist churches in North Carolina. Back then, blacks who visited a white Southern Baptist church were escorted out the door. Racism has no part in Christianity and Dr. Sherman was acting in accordance with conservative Biblical principles. Despite the fact that Southern Baptists ultimately came around to his position, Dr. Sherman was still considered a rock-the-boat radical.
