I would never respond to a false accusation. I told you before, when I was in Odessa very quickly GW was sent from Dallas to become the "lead" elder in Odessa. He immediately began with an attack of inuendo. He was pretending to refer to a brother without naming names but it was obvious that I was the only one he could be referring to. The innuendo was false. The way I responded was to immediately stand up and speak a positive word of testimony as soon as the message was over concerning the verses. The saints thought all kinds of very terrible thoughts about me, but he never said he was talking about me, so I just ignored it. He had to respond by making worse and worse innuendos which made saints wonder "if this is the case why is this brother allowed to meet with us? Why is he in a brothers house?" Brothers came to me and asked if GW was talking about me, then I answered and said "no". At that point his credibility fell to 0. 3 months of hell, but the fever broke and he became a joke.
To me this is like spiritual warfare, if you want to enter the ring, then you can learn to protect yourself from being knocked out. However, if you want instructions on how to keep the enemy from ever throwing a punch at you I have no answer to that, don't get in the ring.
