I just re-read the Michael Royal letter and found it very insightful.

http://gcxweb.org/Misc/MikeRoyal-06-28-1985.aspx

Sam, my question for you. What specific part of that letter was untrue?

Quote from: Sam
So what you are saying is that it is Okay for folks to say and portray me as a bad person (as in Zion paper and Mike Royal's letter)

What specific part of that letter portrayed you as a bad person?

Wasn't this letter written while you were still part of GC? Didn't you leave GC and regret some things done while there?

Don't you think that Michael Royal said worse things about himself when he wrote:

Quote from: Michael Royal
Regretfully, I was a part of this whole thing. I was involved in deceiving people, ostracizing people and helping in excommunications, all in the name of the Lord. Fortunately for me, there has been opportunity for repentance, and seeking forgiveness and reconciliation.

Linda, please read past posts on this topic. I don't care to re-re-re-hash it all over again. I gave my reasons and if folks don't like them on this forum (What a surprise!) then too bad.
