Jim,

I'm not sure I know where to go from here. You are completely out of your mind. You are brainwashed----or----your brain needs washing----or something. You are completely deluded. You drank the Kool-aid brother.

A person gets stuck in their own ego when they begin to think that  they know everything----what the truth is; who is evil; what is right for everyone else; who is off track; and on and on. You need to come back to earth---among us other folks----who are also God's children. Do you really think that you are a humble person? A humble person is a person that recognizes the eternal value of another person---who is also a creation of God. Tough Love? Do you really think so highly of yourself that you believe that you are a superior elder brother to me? Age doesn't really mean much in the scope of senority but living on the earth for a certain period of time usually means that a person has gained, (if he is sincere and consistant in his attempts to grow spiritually) some credibility. I'm only 62 years old. You might be older. But what really counts is how much your heart has grown. Do you love unconditionally? Do you forgive unconditionally? Do you bow to the divine spirit in all others? We are forgiven------as we forgive others.

Maybe I'm not seeing the real you. Maybe I don't understand your heart. I can only tell you the way I FEEL as I read your words. And, what I FEEL coming from you---does not feel like love. I mean, how could it? You are telling me that I'm evil. Are you really qualified to discern whether I am evil or not Jim? What happens if you quickly judge me and then find out later that I am a Godly person? Weren't you upset for all the many times that Father was judged to be evil, and even locked up and tortured for their perceptions? Were'nt you saddened when Jesus was tortured and crucified by the supposed learned religious leaders of his day?

What if youend up becoming the same type of person as the Pharicees sand Scribes----jumping to judgement prematurely upon someone that you know little about? Besides, is it really your job to be the judge, jury, and executioner of mortals that you think have fallen off the right track?

Whenever I see someone, such as yourself, that is so quick to discredit others---is afraid to have an open discussion about truth and reality----and becomes beligerant and demeaning-----that person is usually very insecure; knows very little about themselves; becomes sanctimonious and surly; and has lost his ability to effectively communicate with his brothers and sisters.

Again I say---however long you have been in the church----what did you learn about love? What did you learn about serving? Your idea of tough love is not love at all------it's called bigotry. You cannot assume a position of authority over another person against their will so it's not your call to extend tough love.

This is just another product of your highly inflated view of yourself.  Get off your high horse---and join the rest of God's children.
