Now
then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by
us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God."
2 Corinthians
5:20
"December 20, 2005
Brian, today I came by your house to give you your stamp and
those tapes. I followed you down into the basement of your house where
first you and then I used your restroom.
After that we talked about your basement and your bookshelves
and
the setting up of your office. At that time you asked me what I wanted
to say. I told you that when you decided to leave Presbytery, that's
when I stopped coming to church.
You made a comment to me that if Frank had said he was
reforming
the Presbytery, it was a lie. I said that Frank hadn't said that to me.
You told me that you wouldn't be involved in a Presbytery, that was not
exclusive Psalm singing. You went on to say that the other ministers in
the Presbytery were not exclusive Psalm singers and that they wouldn't
become Psalm singers. You even stated that two other ministers
shouldn't even be ministers. You went on to say that Jim and Beverly,
lied to you. That Jim had said one thing and then changed his story.
That first it was Beverly's fault and after that it was his fault.
You claimed that there were false statements made in the
minutes of Presbytery.
You kept going on about the Presbytery that the documents of
Presbytery were formed by Wayne Setlack (sic) who was an adulterer. (I
have to ask, how you could become a part of this Presbytery, being as
you already knew its statements, and took an oath saying that you
agreed with them?) You also continued to lash out at the Orthodox
Presbyterian church. You spoke of Pastor Conrad and that they had not
disciplined him.
You also claimed that you are in a new Presbytery, and I
don't
see how you can be in one, while you're still in this Presbytery.
In the entire time that I was there you did not have one word
of commendation to anyone.
For over a year I have been attending that church with you,
you
always knew that I was under veteran's benefits, that I had a stroke.
You have never once raised the issue. However, you then said that I was
under welfare. Nothing about my disability. You even seemed to make
reference to my wife being under welfare. Dee has MS and receives SSI.
You then said that you regret marrying us. You also told me that I was
to get my stuff out of Olev's pole barn. You got all upset with me
because I am not a church member; however, you were quite willing to
have me work with you. Quite willing to go out and pass out tracts, and
even talk about me preaching at the retirement home. Now you say, that
you "want nothing to do with me." It was all so interesting that you
were shaking my hand just prior to dumping on me your statements about
me. You also said that no one else in the church was at all bothered by
what you said, about leaving the presbytery.
I believe I have correctly stated what you told me yesterday.
If
not, please correct my statements and reply back to me. This document
