He chose me and set me as His Apostle in His Church and great
worldwide Work. God caused Absalomls conspiracy to fail. David LOVED
his son, and WEPT when he learned of his son's sin (II Sam. 15:30).
Again, after Absalom's death David wept bitterly, for he had LOVED
his wayward son, even as I love mine! In grief David cried out:
"O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! would God I had died for
thee, O Absalom, my son, my son!" (II Sam. 18:33).
Brethren, right now my son whom I love as David loved Absalom,
is on a campaign of vilification against his father, and worse,
AGAINST GOD'S CHURCH. He is clouding the whole truth in the minds
of brethren, representing that it is a PERSONAL father-and-son
quarrel, in which he accuses his father with UNTRUTHS until HE CAN
NO LONGER BE BELIEVED! He leads brethren to think it is an angry,
unjust and irate father unjustly and (he claims falsely) without
cause, putting him out of God's Church! It was JESUS CHRIST, the
Living HEAD of the Church who PUT HIM OUT, through His Apostle!
My son is now on a campaign for just ONE THING! To destroy
his father and GOD'S CHURCH and craftily win over the people's tithes
to him! He is on a campaign to EMOTIONALLY win sympathy for him,
and destroy his father and GOD'S CHURCH!
He IS NOT PROCLAIMING CHRIST'S GOSPEL TO THE WORLD--he is on
three or four radio stations once a week, and daily on a small station
in Los Angeles. He goes only on stations where he can reach OUR
MEMBERS, seeking as the Apostle Paul warned (Acts 20:30), to draw
away disciples after him! He has no facilities nor organization nor
means of fulfilling what CHRIST committed to his father--the GREAT
COMMISSION in ALL THE WORLD, for a witness to ALL NATIONS.
During the past few years he had DIVIDED GOD'S CHURCH! THAT
IS THE REAL ISSUE--not a personal father-and-son quarrel against
a father who loves him, and GRIEVES in greater sorrow over him now,
living and serving Satan, than I did over the death of my firstborn
son, Richard David, who died "in harness" loyally in GOD'S WORK.
Instead of sympathy for a wayward son, how about a little for a
grief-stricken father, who for fifty-one years has labored under
Christ in a labor that resulted in the fact YOU have been brought
to Christ and into God's Church.
My son is now holding "Personal Appearance" meetings in strategic
centers where he hopes to attract God's people, not the world, and
sow the seeds of discord by PUTTING QUESTIONS AND DOUBTS in your minds!
Brethren, in grieved dismay I say, this is subtile and Satanic! He
is not only sowing the seeds of discord among brethren, he is deliberately
bringing FALSE WITNESS against his father. Read again Proverbs 6:16-19--
the seven things GOD HATES, that are an ABOMINATION to Him; among them
a false witness, and sowing the seeds of discord among brethren!
He is NO LONGER A MAN WHOSE WORD MAY BE BELIEVED--I am deeply
GRIEVED to have to tell you.
