Dearest WillPower... peace to you...
And I would have to say that you might be correct about my speaking voice; at least, that's what people tell me all the time when I am talking to them on the phone ("Can you speak up a little, please?") LOLOLOLOL! I am trying to learn to speak louder, but it is not 'natural' for me.
But PLEASE do not think the misleadings of the WTBTS don't chagrin me... nothing could be farther from the truth. I HATE what they have done and are doing. But... I don't hate them. Truly, I feel sorry for them, for those who don't have a clue and are being misled, how they will feel when they wake up - can you IMAGINE how certain ones are going to feel when called to task? When they realized how they've judged and condemned, conducted themselves as hypocrites, followed a false prophet and golden calf, FALSE ANOINTED... when all along they THOUGHT they were 'expelling demons in [his] name?.
I also feel sorry for those who DO know what they are doing, but in a different way: they THINK they will get away with it, have convinced themselves, as did Judas, as does Satan. How arrogant... how sad. Too bad, too bad.
I think that if I had talked to Mr. Carey in anger or with frustration, etc., I wouldn't have got very far. Actually, I would have given him an excuse NOT to listen ("An answer when MILD turns away rage...") The same with the 'brothers' that met with me... all 14 times I remained calm, while they 'gnashed their teeth', in some cases quite literally. But, they didn't do so because of MY conduct, I promise you! THEY were the ones 'ashamed', not me. And that's probably the REAL reason why they showed me the door, looking at me most probably caused them quite a bit a discomfort. The remedy? Remove her. Ah, well.
Anyway, you can ALWAYS pray for the 'fruit' of my Father's spirit that is peace, mildness and long-suffering. These will help you. And even a greater one is LOVE. If you ask the Father to send you His holy spirit, through Christ, He will do it. I promise you. (Luke 11:13). You can ask for any one of His 'fruits'... and let that 'carry' you through what you have to do. And He won't withhold it, for in doing so, you may even glorify Him.
Don't let them 'win', Will... they are COUNTING on ones like us to 'lose it'. And as in every similar situation, the one that loses his/her cool, usually loses the 'battle'. It does not have to be this way, though... for there IS a 'helper'.
Let me know how I can help... for I am...
YOUR servant and a slave of Christ,
SJ
