Bro Brandon, you have some of the BEST examples to view there.

But that guy is a fruitcake, and *everyone* knows it.

I have that grotesque stuff have been saddened to have had to
personally confront and deal with the attempts by those pariticular
people to pread dischord across the IRC medium lately. 

In fact, the portions of truth in those papers are badly
misrepresented, and the GREAT error in his wicked publications is that
he presumes to intrude upon delicate situations and "report" what is
really happening, when in fact, he is a nobody who doesnt have a clue
concerning the delicate and God-given ministry of governments. Dealing
with preachers in a spiritual way, is NOT the easiest job. It destroys
them who are not qualified, and anointed for the task, and requires
more than human patience. God DOES provide such leaders, but those who
believe they could do a better job, and grow jealous and dissenting
and begin to sow dischord hae paved themselves a one way road to
isolation and ultimate destruction.

Interestingly I have also had contact with a so-called "witch" who is
also in Ada, not coincidentally and who I am sure is spriitually more
healthy that those particualar people and who also attended a service
there, and (all this without any propting from me, since I've never
discussed it with her) relates the very scary spirit that can arise
from Apostolics who have turned against one another and THINK that
they still have the Holy Ghost.
