No, you see Rob and Danny were actually the same guy parading as 2 different guys. So actually Danny replaced danny as rob and rob replaced rob as danny. The whole thing was a evil plot by the vast liberty underground confusion network!

justagirl, I'm Honered that you registered and used your very first post to give me that great complement. I know that though, thus the name!

It was my pleasure.

I figured after reading through the forums that the only way to survive in here is with cheap shots..haha...so i took it and ran.

To all the newbies who have joined FlameFans via this thread, consider yourselves welcome and feel free to join the other discussions we have on here as well.

And as someone who has spent a great deal of time in Wimberley (that FieldTurf at the Texans' stadium was a big step forward for WISD) I stand by my comments in referencing God's Country.

You're not off to a good start on FlameFans."

Oh ok you want...We have no talent, have played a monster schedule and are being over looked for the playoffs. I try to look at things as objectively as possible. In two years the song may be completely different. Joe Torre may get fired for not having enough pitching. Patience will be required no matter who is the coach. Coach Rocco has support(budget, facilities and staff) and appears to me moving ahead of at least the others in the Big South.

But for some to criticize Rob Jackson who probably have never invested in any thing what he has in Liberty is simply amazing. Rob is a great team player and will be missed.

I have no idea who Jsquarred is but I have drawn my own conclusions by some simple reasoning

Oh. I get it now. You have to stay for a really long time before you can get support from other people. So noted.

I feel like I'm on the Sopranos Message board all of a sudden. Who is the mystery informant?

According to Rob Jackson's facebook profile & the church's web page, he's now the senior pastor at Forestville Baptist Church in Greenville, SC: http://www.forestville.org

[Sly Fox]

Congrats to Rob and his family. Although I admit I cringe when I think of being in that town with BJU on one side and the Furman Vermin on the other.

[olldflame]

I really like Greenville. I spent 3 weeks there doing training for my job back in the summer of 91. It's not much bigger than Lynchburg, but with a lot more entertainment and cultural opportunities.

[jcmanson]

Thanks for bringing up one of our more interesting threads CJ

[Baldspot]

I'm sure he will do well. Being an LU graduate working as a head pastor in Greenville SC sounds interesting.

[rogers3]

Don't know RJ at all, but have a long history with JF ministries; seems like many a person left by the wayside were simply in the wrong "camp" at the wrong time (i.e. 5-15-07). I'm always glad to see a "pet" let go when he's been kept too long- not that RJ fits that mold... My guess is that there is still some blood to be let, and with a major Admin. change, I'm sure no one is surprised.

[bozlady]

Rob was my first boss at Liberty. He hired me back in Aug 1994 and I stayed as his Admin. Asst for almost 6 years, up until when he left for Wimberly in 2000. Just before he left he had heard that the new football coach (Karcher) was looking for an Admin., Asst. I've been at football since June 2000. Rob was a GREAT and an amazing boss and leader. I learned SOOOOOO much from him and I truly believe that I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for him. I will cherish my years at the Campus Pastor's office. We built great relationships with one another and with the multitude of student workers that came through our office. Rob is a very intelligent, and God loving person, I see no problem with him being blessed and being a blessing wherever he goes.

[Hold My Own]

Bottom line is RJ is a great man and his story of rise to success is reason enough to keep him around out of respect. He went from a night shift security guard for JF to being one of his best Spiritual advisor's.

Either way he and the family are happy. I actually ran into the family tonight.


It's one of those inevitable fall outs when JF passed. Some things are never be the same and some things are handled differently now that he is gone. Thats normal and not something to really complain about but rather accept but hope that we are headed in the right direction, and it appears we are.

I may still be a Spark but I only post on things important to me. I've known Rob for 15 years. Like all of us he had some faults. Like a lot of us he shared deeply in the Vision. He was an excellent speaker and teacher. He and Dwayne ran a great office. I'm sorry some of you had a bad experience but overall the people in the SA office were exceptional and they helped so many. DL may have been the wild man and gotten people pumped up but he ran (my opinion) a sorry program and I was glad to see him go. Rob's years of service are worthy of honors. I will miss him.

[Hold My Own]

LOL...yeah...let's not put DL in the same league as RJ...one got more recognition than the other but I think that's b/c people were unable to see through the fog not to mention one of the two thrived and needed that recognition

[Sly Fox]

Let's stay focused on Rob and not turn this into a Danny bashing if at all possible.

[Hold My Own]

Is that who the DL stood for...oh...my bad...back to topic

[Sly Fox]

Somehow I let this slip between the cracks over the holidays ...

He may be traditional, but Forestville pastor is on the cutting edge in many ways

By Abe Hardesty • CITY PEOPLE WRITER • December 24, 2008



TRAVELERS REST -- The Rev. Rob Jackson is a traditionalist in many ways.

A notable exception is Christmas Eve.

"I've often thought it was sad that on what could be our Number One day of worship -- Christmas Eve -- that so many Baptist churches give up the opportunity to worship," Jackson says.

In order to worship on Christmas Eve over the years, Jackson has usually visited churches outside his denomination. While living in Virginia, his home for most of the past 30 years, he and his family attended a Lutheran church that held annual Christmas Eve services.

That changes today.

In his first Christmas as pastor at Forestville Baptist Church, Jackson plans a Christmas Eve service at the Southern Baptist church near Travelers Rest. It's scheduled for 5-6 p.m.

Rob just got a big shout out after tonight's big WBB win. They said he welcomed the team to his house/church and made them feel like they were at home. Also they said several members of the church came and Rob gave the pre-game speech to the girls.


That's great to hear, it's nice for him to stay connected and welcoming them with open arms when he didnt have to (and a lot wouldnt have)

[Baldspot]

Very classy thing to do, but that's just Rob.
