12/1/16 – Persecutions Continue to Stall Us From Working on the Book
We are being bitterly hated and persecuted
by our family again.
We are in desperate need of housing for
safety, but there are not many people who care or are interested in helping.
How can this entire country be so rich
with resources and yet so desolate in compassion and faith toward those doing
kindness and sacrificial love toward all humanity?
If I did not have hope in the Judgement
and the coming of saving Justice I would have no hope at all in this bitter and
sorrowful age…
8/28/16 – Still Needing Help
We strive and are in danger and stand
in much need, and are often threatened and persecuted, and we are hated by all
men, and though we have the light of Justice which the whole world needs, yet
it is the false prophets who are at ease with many resources to advance their
cause and indulgent message and build their own kingdoms. While others have
more than they need, the “priests and Levites” have had to take up secular work
and wait on tables, and the Word of God is reduced upon the earth in the hearts
of men.
The righteous have families and
mouths to feed, and housing expenses, and other obligations and “bills”, and
the integrity of Scribal work is SERIOUS labor that requires full-time devotion
and focus.
The “Divorce and Remarriage
Repentance Revolution”, the Purity Proclamation, the Biblical Dress Code, The
Keys to Obeying the Sermon on the Mount, and countless others all “wait on
tables” to the shame of the whole world. Heaven look down and vindicate His
servants in a day of rejoicing when the proclamation of truth is greatly
honored and helped more and more by the poor who so strongly believe.
3/25/15 – Update: Bearing Many Constraints and Threats and Persecutions, and Longing to Work on The Book
For the last number of years we have been distressed and threatened and persecuted to such a great degree that we have not been able to work on the divorce and remarriage book and publish our latest labors. We long and wish to finish up these last updates, but with as much trouble as we are facing, I have not been able to risk the well-being of our disciples to work on writing and revising.
At times, we are still being harshly threatened, insulted, hated, and chased, so we are often hard pressed. Recently I had a family member say I was evil and satan, and said, “you deserve to be crucified and tortured for the rest of your life... you deserve to burn on a cross for all eternity”. (1/21/15)
I also had a leader in the permanency of marriage movement reject me with insults, saying I was self-condemned, and saying, “The things you have written take my breath away in their evil and ignorance.” (3/1/15)
It is very obvious that Jesus was exactly right when he said His disciples would be hated by all men, and be betrayed by friends and family for His name’s sake.
We are burning with zeal to promote truth on the earth again and we are constantly watching for timing and resources to get to a safe place so we can simply lead a quiet and peaceable life and write truth to help save and benefit many other people. If you have any ideas, please let us know: www.TrueConnection.org/contact
9/3/12; 11/1/12
I am still colaboring fervently with faithful disciples seeking to get a major update published in the next month or so… (please stay tuned).
Update: We were stalled a bit in October for truth’s sake after finding a few more important discoveries that we had to research before moving on, but we are eager to finish this latest update of the book sooner than later! We are laboring every day, and I trust, moving forward toward another critical update in the next number of weeks or months… please stay tuned!
7/12/12
Today marks the official “10-Year Anniversary” for the day when I first
wrote a small, 5-page paper on “Divorce & Remarriage” (7/12/02) which
eventually became “Divorce and
Remarriage Repentance Revolution”.
As you might have guessed, I am laboring intensely to get another update finished and made available on the website. As with other updates, with this update I’ve been researching for many countless hours and I am extremely eager to get these critical updates and corrections incorporated into the book. This update brings the book a step closer to eventually being ready for official review. If you know of anyone who would be willing to help with some very basic proof reading please let me know!
2/14/11 (with
clarifications)
After about 9 months and countless hours of great labor it looks
like I finally have a long-awaited update to “Divorce and
Remarriage Repentance Revolution”!
I added many new sections all throughout
the book, especially enhancing Chapter 3 [which is now about to be Chapter 4] this time, laboring greatly over the countless, weighty, exciting
details of the exception clause.
With
all of these very numerous additions and thorough revisions we went from having
167 pages to 231 pages. With more than 60 pages of new content, needless to
say, I don’t think it would be practical for me to name all of the extremely
important new sections that are all throughout the book, but I am praying that
they would benefit people who are in desperate need and hungry for truth (but
perhaps I may get to include a highlight list of these new and important
sections at some point). My prayer is that it could somehow help us all
actually obey God and somehow make it to heaven in this age of great apostasy.
Although these are very defining and important updates, there are
certainly many more updates where that came from. Please let me know whenever
you find any mistakes or particular sections that need critical clarification
because I really do need help like this so I can continue to make needed
revisions. As some have noticed, although I am going on 2 years past my
original goal to get the book printed, I am laboring greatly to bring this book
to completion as soon as God permits!
May God finally be honored;
May lawless heresies be confronted;
May people (especially church people) be saved from darkness and
slavery to sin!
May God call the Modern church to repent!
1/24/12
I am currently preparing another critical update soon where many corrections have been made, and a few more exciting sections have been greatly revised and added.
1/30/10 – 8/28/10
We have been working on getting the book in print. Countless hours have been underway in updating and preparing the teaching for this next step. Some updates are in mid-process and we don’t expect them to all be immediately reflected on the website until major sections are revised and completed.
We are not sure if we will get a book in print within 2010, but we are continually laboring to get it in print as soon as God will permit us. Our resources are limited but we are praying that God will help us resume working on the book at “full speed ahead.”
