Paul's warning (Acts 20.18-36) was to "take heed, watch, remember the pattern he gave us, and to be committed to God and the word of His grace."

Perhaps one reason I avoided much if not all of this was that my diet was always the word of God. For years I couldn't afford to waste $5 or $10 on a book I wasn't going to read. So I learned that the WL books were just a waste for me. I didn't know if that was indicative of being less spiritually mature, didn't really care. When I could afford to buy a WL book I would thumb through them but never find anything that I felt was worth the time to read.
For years it was something of a shame that I couldn't afford the "high peaks truth". Once again the Lord is found faithful.
Acts 20:19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind
The second thing that Paul reminds us of is how he served the Lord with "all humility of mind". How is "the Seer of the divine revelation" all humility of mind? How is casting aspersions on all other Christians and saying that they have no new light "all humility of mind"? How could anyone argue that WL "served the Lord with all humility of mind"?
