Was he really deposed? That is shocking. I attend another (at least until recently) rock-solid church in the area, so only viewed MBC from a distance, but I always thought they were one of the good guys. Though from what I have heard of Platt, I am not impressed.
My impression is that he was pushed out, but that is just my impression. I remember him saying before he left that he would still be preaching there and that he hoped they would use his “so what?” Catch phrase.
