Take it as an indication that God's people don't abide with hatred and
destructive spirits. 

In fact, there has been no indication of there being any people of
*any* doctrinal orientation who do not feel that the behavior and
attitudes in question are not aberant, both socially and spiritually. 

Rather than seeking approval from people who you obviously arent going
to get it from, why don't  you find a living breathing bunch of people
in your hometown, or move somwhere else if led of the Lord, and see if
your "techniques" will yield fruit. 

The wisdom in this should be plain:

1. You will have the satisfaction of seeing a yeild, and learn how to
effectively minister the word, yes AS YOU SEE IT. There is no law
against it, contrary to what you might have thought I was saying.

2. Your health will improve. 

3. It will confirm your idea of having a ministry, and you will grow
as a Christian.

Simply getting people irritated can't supply these as would a
person-to-person ministry. OJ did far better at that than any of us
could ever do.
