First letter excerpt: "On August 8, 2014 I received a phone call from the Spokane brother hosting our home meeting, informing me that because of the report from Seattle I could no longer attend the home meeting. He was hopeful, though, and even jubilant in believing I would soon be restored to fellowship as there would be more contact with Seattle. I was to first take down my websites to open the way for fellowship, which I did take down, and informed this brother.

I knew though that if I would be dealing with the same mentality as in the past, I would not only NOT be restored, I would most likely be ignored - completely. And this is what did happen. The Seattle elder who gave the report of censure, did not respond to the fact that I was making progress in the Lord in Spokane and that the brothers were happy with me and wanted me there. The brothers in Spokane, then, closed the doors to me till I could get through with the brothers in Seattle, who also closed their doors to me.
Taking the websites down did not open up fellowship. And either did the testimony that I was doing well and that I was wanted in Spokane. Further, the fact I have had no activity on the internet in 2014 or in most of 2013 had not yet come to their ears, and if it had, still their mind and heart would remain closed."
