There is a Chinese pastor named Yun who has suffered tremendously for the Lord. Much like Richard Wurmbrandt did  for being a Evangelical Christian in Communist Romania. Years of horrible torture were endured without giving away fellow Christian contact names. When Brother Yun came to the states he discovered that some one in LA, perhaps one of the popular Christian radio shows, had been sending out a letter that stated brother Yun's story was false. It stated that he had not endured years of horrible suffering for Christ and that all the miracles that had occurred were false. Pastor Yun stated that this hurt him more than all the suffering he endured, a false accusation wounds deeply. Don't believe the childhood saying, "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me."
 
However, brother Yun stated that we in the west sometime spoil what God has planned when we prematurely try to get someone released from prison in China. What a thought, God is in charge of all things, even our suffering.
 
With that in mind, I would say to those who create rumors or try to spread questionable conspiracies, you may be doing the person a favor that you are accusing. This can be used to God's glory to keep that person humble. Your consequences need to be considered, false accusations bring a heavy penalty that will not be overlooked.
 
Recently 60 minutes and mister Rather have been humiliated. That comes after years of slandered and politically skewed news clips. Michael Moore made a lot of money of the gullible public who is quick to hate our president.
 
Most of the media in the US is terribly slanted against the values of Christians. Should we give legitimacy to material put together by sites promoting UFOs. Consider the source.
 
There is a conspiracy and that is to get us distracted any way possible. We all have to battle that. We can not pay attention to the Father and the work he requires us to do if we get caught in these traps.
 
God bless
