The leader of the 'Quiverfull' movement shuts down ministry after (gasp) an extramarital affair

[Siwsan]

A leader in the controversial Quiverfull movement - which promotes family values and male dominance over women - has resigned and closed his ministry after having an affair.

Doug Phillips, who is married with eight children, announced he was stepping down from Vision Forum Ministries, based in San Antonio, Texas, in a statement on his website on October 30.


'I engaged in a lengthy, inappropriate relationship with a woman,' he wrote. 'While we did not "know" each other in a Biblical sense, it was nevertheless inappropriately romantic and affectionate.'

Then on Monday, in light of Phillips' 'serious sins', the Board of Directors of the ministries concluded that 'it is in the best interests of all involved to discontinue operations'.

1. I'm shocked, I tell you!

NOT.

2. What will he do now..............

He has earned a tidy sum by preaching this message. In 2011, his ministry reported $3.3 million in revenue and Phillips received $44,000 in salary for a 30-hour workweek for the ministry.
Phillips' influence over his community is far reaching.
He began working as an attorney at the Home School Legal Defense Association and has become a popular speaker at home school conventions.
Phillips has also been active in the Tea Party in San Antonio.
From the www.dailymail.co.uk article.

Doug Phillips guy is really out there - he said Sarah Palin was too “pro-evolution, pro-contraceptive", and “pro-homosexual” for true conservatives to support, plus, as a woman, she had no business running for office anyway, because the Bible says women are supposed to stay home and take care of the babies.

7. Probably has a new hustle

His new hustle might make more money for him than this Quiverfull BS.
Guys like him know that there's always suckers waiting to be fleeced.
