Mark Driscoll Getting Death Threats, Attacks at Home Former Mars Hill Pastor Mark Driscoll said this week that his family is experiencing “a very trying season,” including death threats, attacks and night terrors.
Driscoll spoke briefly at the 2014 Gateway Conference on Monday. He was originally scheduled to speak at the conference, but chose to just attend.
Gateway Pastor Robert Morris asked Driscoll to come on stage and Driscoll asked for prayers.
"We've had a very trying season and (I'm) just trying to figure out how to be a good pastor to my family first. We all know that's the most important thing."
"We've got five kids, three boys, two girls ages eight to seventeen. We've moved three times for safety issues: people arrested at our home, death threats, address posted online, all kinds of things and more recently it's gotten more severe," he said.
Driscoll said rusty nails have been placed in his driveway and that he and his children were attacked when camping in their backyard.
Driscoll resigned as pastor of the church he founded in 1996 after accusations of plagiarism and comments he made on the church’s website from years ago surfaced.
Driscoll said in his resignation letter that he is "an imperfect messenger of the gospel of Jesus Christ."

I really hate to see this stuff go on. No true Christian would do those things. Especially to his family. But what do you expect from his apostate church members?
night terrors.
I would like more explanation on this one...
Night Terrors OverviewThe sleep disorder of night terrors typically occurs in children aged 3-12 years, with a peak onset in children aged 3½ years.
Sleep is divided into 2 categories: rapid eye movement (REM) and nonrapid eye movement (non-REM). Non-REM sleep is further divided into 4 stages, progressing from stages 1-4. Night terrors occur during the transition from stage 3 non-REM sleep to stage 4 non-REM sleep, beginning approximately 90 minutes after the child falls asleep.
Night terrors are distinctly different from the much more common nightmares, which occur during REM sleep. Night terrors are characterized by frequent recurrent episodes of intense crying and fear during sleep, with difficulty arousing the child. Night terrors are frightening episodes that disrupt family life.
A small percentage of children experience night terrors. Boys and girls are equally affected. Children of all races also seem to be affected equally. The disorder usually resolves during adolescence.
