And to make that kind of statement is the ultimate in stupidity. Then every meeting in America that is in English excludes anyone who does not know English. That is what would happen to me if I went to any kind of church meeting in Mexico. But according to Benson, I would be excluding if I found some other non-Spanish speaking Americans in Guadalajara and held a meeting each week while on assignment there. (This has never happened for me.)

I am having a hard time believing that Benson actually is stupid enough to believe what he said. It is beginning to look more and more like he is intentionally creating a divide with statements he can hardly help but know are inflammatory and false.
