Not only are they sending young naifs out to do battle instead of themselves standing in the breach, but they give you prepared statements, as if it were really you doing the speaking. What about Jesus' "Do not take thought beforehand, what you shall say, because the Spirit will give you in that hour what you should speak"?
I guess they trusted neither you nor the leading of the Holy Spirit, and had to create the pretense of it instead. How typical.
