If one sins against the church, then he has to confess to the Lord and ask forgiveness publicly from the church. If one sins against the recovery, he has to confess to the Lord and also ask forgiveness from the entire recovery.......... But repentance only comes when one realizes that he is altogether WRONG.

With the letter having been written in 2001, I wonder if the elder has learned anything since? Having been sued along with Ron Kangas in 2011 for defamation, did he take anytime to reconsider what was said that would be grounds for defamation? As many of us know, the lawsuit was not pursued and dropped. Unfortunately, I perceive most of us disagree with lawsuits, but in regard to blended brothers that is the only recourse to get any response.
