Thank you very VERY much for these
beautiful words of encouragement.
I confronted the Pastor and he admitted,
via fax, to being in possession
of the Registered U.S. Mail which
I posted to the grand jury foreperson --
with restricted delivery and return receipt --
and this after I briefed him in detail
about what I was going to do, and why!
Go figure!!
They preach the Law, and then they go break
it themselves. What a fine example of a
double standard he is preaching to the world.
No thank you!!!
