Quote from the wiki articles, to be more specific: [Emphasis mine]It is an exclusion position in some Baptist churches, much to the chagrin of other denominations. I, myself, do not agree with the policy.

As before, constructive criticism is always welcome, however your Wiki reference mentions five other influential Landmark Baptists, some of whom have Wiki pages. None of these gentlemen appear to have been vilified neither for their views or their publications. Perhaps you could explain why Mr. Carroll was vilified and they were not.

Not only can you not add, but you can't even spell it out.

The other five gentlemen didn't publish a booklet with the popularity and circulation of The Trail of Blood, so they didn't have the exposure like Carroll had in this regard. It is this booklet, which espouses Landmarkism, in which Carroll is both honored and vilified. BTW, the booklet is only some 70 pages long and cheap, about $2.00, which means it's easily accessable for the common Baptist layman. I have a copy of it somewhere myself.

Now go get ejamacated.

Thank you for your patience. As I understand you, Mr. Carroll wrote a booklet which was both popular and widely circulated and in the booklet he was both honored and vilified. This seems to be a bit nonsensical. How is it possible that this anomaly occurs in his own publication? I read the online version provided by the OP and could find no reference to it. It could be that the reference is in incomplete or otherwise in error.

Other interesting questions occurred to me. Who were the people that vilified him, Landmark members or members of another denomination and was he ever vilified before he published his booklet?

This is off topic. Not being familiar with the term"ejamacated" I googled it and the first instance offered this; "It's a satirical way of spelling "educated" used to lampoon people who pooh-pooh higher education, or who boast about their own credentials while clearly not making use of them."
Tell me about this new doctrine - The Fighting Fundamental Forums I would hope that you are not "lampooning" me.

Oh, many years ago, I was a poster at the FFF, well, more on the original Fighting Fundamental"ist" Forums. It later became the Fighting Fundamental Forums.

I'm also pretty familiar with the poster you got your definition from. "Ransom", I believe his real name is Scott McClare from Canada. You can find him here. I'm sure he's familiar with my old username over there. Supersrfr or WTF.

Interesting, but is your link relevant? It takes me to an SOMD page.

Weird.... He had a blog called the Crusty Curmudgeon. Google search leads to a blogspot from him... I just thought it was a small word.

Some people liked the book, some people hated it. Who, the article doesn't say. All we can do at this point is speculate. But I've tried to make it clear to you reasons why some might take offense to the booklet in my earlier post. Certainly there is a case for people of denominations other than Baptist could be perturbed by Landmarkism's exculsive view on churches.

Never heard of The Fighting Fundamental Forums. I heard this term watching a Popeye cartoon.

Thanks, you put forth a gallant effort but as a "tutor", you suck.

Even the best tutors can't help when the student is trying to be difficult. You asked a stupid question. Why was he villified? The guy wrote a widely circulated book telling most people that their religion is a farce because they go to "meeting places" and not actual "churches". Think about it.

You're not much of a tutor either. Heaven forbid a student who is "difficult". There is no such thing as a stupid question. Have you a link to where it explains explicitly why and who vilified him?
