Always love that website. Having known many who knew both JH and Schaap, and with the interactions I had with both, I have to say, Thank you JESUS that I didn't get caught up in the Hyles cult! I know many who went to HAC/FBCH from my home church who didn't swallow the kool-aid, but that went there, did their studies and got out and into the ministry and are doing wonderful jobs. They kept their eyes on Jesus instead of Hyles. It wasn't easy for them, and they all voiced displeasure with what was going on. Many received demerits, punishment, etc. because of their willingness to point out things that were wrong. But, they went where the Lord told them to go. I don't understand why the Lord would send anyone to HAC/FBCH, but my ways aren't his ways. I'm thankful for those that stood with the Lord and against Hyles and Schaap in spite of what they would receive in the long run. Still, I'm thankful that the era of JH and JS are over and that they have a good pastor now. I just pray that the people's eyes have started to open so that they can see what their "god" was like.For those with time on their hands - here is the Mother Of All "Jack Hyles Exposed" web pages, courtesy of Steve Van Nattan of the Blessed Quietness web site, formerly known as "Balaam's Ass."
Van Nattan pulls no punches in his critique of the Jacks: "With the arrest and jailing of Jack Schaap, Jack Hyles' hand picked successor at First Baptist of Hammond, who is also Hyles' son-in-law, this story finally has its final verdict-- These men will burn in hell. . . .No one in Christendom, nor in witchcraft, nor the sodomites, have sent me more filthy and hateful mail than the Hyles people. They are bullies with no restraint. Their level of hate is beyond measure. In fact, I have lost my confidence in the Baptist concept. The lust for porn, power, and pesos by Baptist preachers, by and large, is beyond anything I have seen in the rest of Christendom. . . .If you take pleasure in First Baptist Church of Hammond, Indiana, or if you defend the two Jacks, YOU are taking pleasure in their vile perverted sex crazed program. You will burn in hell. You are a BASTARD"
"LETTER FROM A PASTOR: I pastor a Baptist church here in Alabama, I also attended Hyles college for 2 1/2 years before I realized my need to move on. Since then, I have seen so many churches torn apart over loyalty to this man. The fundamental issue of Jesus Christ was always laid to the side as people argued over Hyles, Bob Jones, Lester relief [I think he means Roloff] or any other person they gave their loyalty to."
