May you have peace!
Not quite. I had the privilege of meeting with Mr. Barber in 1996 when I went to Bethel to deliver a message (i.e., we don't "pay" for our sins when we die; our blood has no value and, therefore, cannot atone for our sins - only the blood of Christ can). During the discussion, Mr. Barber tried to say I had been talking with demons (because I did not try to hide my "source" from him). After I cautioned him against blaspheming, however, he became a bit offensive and said that the information only comes "through the Faithful and Discreet Slave." A "sister" accompanied me on the trip and in response to Mr. Barber's statement asked, "Isn't all of the anointed part of the [FDS]"? Rather than responding yes or no, Mr Carey sat straight up, eyes kind of bugging out and asked, "Is she of the anointed?" to which my companion, who is also, said, "Yes."
I first though his reaction weird and his question curious. Immediately after, however, I knew Mr. Barber (if not the others as well) was not who he claimed to be and many thought he was: the FEAR in his eyes was utterly unmistakable. It is something that I will never forget as long as I live (continued mental capacity permitting). After the look of fear, I then knew that he was an absolute imposter. What was even more notable is that at the exact same time, HE knew I knew. Again, the look in his eyes betrayed him.
After that, Mr. Barber attempted to be candid about the WT and AW... and how they were written. He told us that the GB had had nothing to do with either publication since 1972... when [they] turned everything over to the Writing Department in anticipation of 1975. He said that [they] TOLD us how the WT and AW were written... in the first video taped [they] had distributed. Later, my companion and I took a look... and lo! so it is.
And that's it. An interview of sorts, but different from what dear Lisa experienced.
Hope this helps... and, again, peace to you!
Your servant and a slave of Christ,
