Hi Fay, and all doves reading this,Thank you for your letter last week:
And thank you very much for your kind and encouraging words of support. I appreciate it because I always want to keep myself accountable to my Christian brothers and sisters, and hearing other brother’s and sister’s opinions of me helps me to know if I am on the right or wrong track.
There was a lot of hurt over there at RITAN and over the course of the last week there was a lot of personal correspondence between myself and one of the mods. I will admit, some of my language may have been hurtful because I was hurting at the time myself, but as the week wore on, I apologized for anything I may have written that caused any hurt. However there was not reconciliation to be had and in the end I was being accused of division and they even accused me of joining the site just to divide and draw away their followers. That was the most hurtful thing they said to me and entirely untrue. Ultimately they decided to totally delete my account over there, and that is their prerogative.
But you said it best in your letter, we are all here to work together and not to work against each other.
To that end, I would like to make a personal plea to all RITAN readers that if you are reading this, please do not hold this against them and please do not stop fellowshipping over there on my behalf if you currently are. This issue will follow us to the Bema seat and God will clear the air one day when motives and thoughts and intentions of the heart are revealed, but in the meantime there are lots of good brothers and sisters over there, who I do miss fellowshipping with. Some have reached out to me at my e-mail that I gave a couple of weeks ago and I do appreciate that. We can all hurt at times and be ignorant at times because we are all human and we can sometimes make bad decisions because of this, so please do not hold any of this against them if you are a regular over there.
I have to close out this letter again saying thank you to Fay for your kind words and a big THANK YOU to Brother John Tng for keeping this forum open for free expression and leaving discernment to the Holy Spirit as he always writes “ Please note that it is impossible for even two like-minded souls to agree on everything. You should read these letters with this in mind and pray for understanding from the Spirit of Truth. Thank you.”
So thank you Brother John for your time and attention to this website and for your faithfulness.
Much Love in Messiah Jesus,Your brother in HimDerrick Drew
