And why exactly is this going to be memorable? I mean, really, so a well known protestant theologian and apologists sister joins the Roman Catholic church....and this somehow makes her significant?

Is she somehow automatically granted the status of apologist and theologian because her brother is? Is there some sort of familial importance beyond trying to rub his face in it that I don’t understand?

If Ron Paul’s sister suddenly decided to become a communist would you all consider it somehow a sign that Ron Paul’s beliefs about liberty were in error? What kind of fallacious reasoning is this?

It’s interesting because we were discussing this lady a few days ago, and now have the opportunity to hear her story on TV or radio if we choose. We also have the opportunity to spend our time doing something totally different.

How are you? Do you like penguins?

She has written a blog post about her upbringing and her accusations against her and James’s father for sexual abuse. I have no idea what to make of it. Apparently this accusation has torn the family apart.

I’m still confused after reading some posts at her blog, why she blames her brother. If he didn’t know, and if there’s no proof, I’m not sure what he is supposed to do. But I ache for the entire family. Someone is lying, not sure who, and people are using this to torch James White. I’m not sure Patty

from one of her latest posts entitled “Protestant bloggers need to stop!”
http://abbaslittlegirl.blogspot.com/2010/05/protestant-bloggers-need-to-stop.html

wants her information to be used in quite that way. The blog that I found her piece from was a baptist forum trying to discredit James White over the Ergun Caner situation, saying that he isn’t interested in the truth because he sided with his dad in this situation... It’s preposterous to say the two situations (Caner’s proven lies vs Patty’s allegations) are equally provable.
