My assumption is the ties arrived. There is a USB in the envelope for my family to watch videos. My assumption is it will be discarded.

An email was sent yesterday and another today to my family, and today’s included Render Caines. The Wicked Shepherds site (http://www.wickedshepherds.com) has proven to be insightful, and consistent with what I have come to over the past years. If you were to review my writings and my videos, including ones on the USB drive, you will find that the concepts of:

• The institutional church is a fraud.

• There is no call to tithe.

• As followers of Christ we are to be clear, bold, and open (“Parrhēsia”).

• The elder is someone who is older, not an office.

• The difference between rule and lead.

• We are not to be called teacher.

• There is no concept of pulpit or sermon, but dialog.

If you read http://www.wickedshepherds.com/TheChristianChurchDownload.html, I think you will find the same points. I’m not the only one who can read the Scripture.

Let me also quote today’s email:

“Remember also what will happen to these men if they become convinced that the institutional church is a fraud. It will take their life’s work and crush it. They will need to be shown respect and love for what they attempted, and even more for their repentance. Don’t take this lightly.”

I hope you see that even being shown years of hate, my response is love.

My assumption is that the emails have already been discarded and this will not be addressed. I hope you see in doing that you give evidence to the veracity of the claim that you are in a cult. I remain at the table for dialog.

Dorothy-Jane, I love you!
