I never justified or defended myself. Instead what happened is Saints began to wonder if this is the case why is this brother still meeting with us. To wiggle out of that one the response was that this was only referring to the situation in the past. However there were saints in Odessa who had been in Irving and Houston, so that lie was also exposed, so then it became this was his past before being saved! To that the saints were like what? Like I said his credibility went to 0, you reap what you sow, if you speak lies you will ultimately be known as a liar. But all the time I had never said anything, so my attitude was not judgmental. If you try to protect yourself: "no this is not me, I am not this horrible sinner" then you have just condemned some other saint who was. I was taking all the heat and receiving everyone and speaking words to build up everyone. The shepherds job is to stand up to the wolves.

The whole sad story of GW exemplifies what happens when we serve man and not God. Poor GW apparently was coerced into doing another's bidding. It all got exposed by the Lord.
