Pacific Northwest region)]

Time
for the Rest of us who say we stand for God to do the same.
They were kind to the people but valiant and bold in their
stand against the lion (the adversary i.e. we wrestle not
against flesh and blood). They cast it right back in the
adversary's teeth.
We hear that The Pacific Region Coordinator Matt Stiles is
flying in on Friday to meet with the believers on Saturday.
Sounds like more spin doctoring and damage control to me.
Hopefully the believers in Idaho will take a valiant and bold
stand also.
They should:
1. Boycott the meeting. What if Matt called a meeting and
nobody showed up. You don't have to go. It is OK with God.
2. If you go to the meeting be prepared to stand up and be
heard at all costs. Don't put up with one way dialogue. If you
interrupt an ungodly presentation you are not sinning. Keep
asking your questions till you get an answer. You are
standing.
3. Have a thought through agenda in mind. Have your plan and
stick to it. Do not allow yourself to get separated from each
other. That is a TWI method. Divide and Conquer (Romans 16:17
mark those which cause [make or produce] divisions....
They first must separate you from any allegiance to the one
true God and those who speak for Him. They will work on
separating your marriages and families and friends. Stick to
your plan. If they throw one person out, everyone leave in
protest.
4. As part of your plan have a list of questions and don't
allow him to weasel out of them. Keep asking them even though
you will not get an answer. It will identify and isolate the
unfruitful works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11-13). Don't let
him intimidate you. Be ready for the critical eyebrow and the
answering your question with a question. Stick to your plan.
5. Part of your plan should be the preparation to mark and
avoid the ministry or at least put them on probation until
they get their act together on the Word of God. It won't hurt
to get a break from them (not the Word) and take care of you
family. Give them a list of scriptures to work and assign them
to write a letter to you once a month telling how they are
correcting their thinking. In the mean time you can get
together and work the word for yourself for a change! Isn't
that why God gave you holy spirit and the tools to rightly
divide it for yourself.
6. Make copies of the lists of the questions you asked the
first time (back when you were told that Rev. Martindale's sin
was only a one time occurrence and asked to forgive him) and
give those questions out to everyone that will attend.
7. Be ready for a scrap. You may say I am promoting civil
disobedience. You are right.. But it is civil disobedience in
the name of the true God. They have stood with the threats of
tyranny and bondage over you long enough. It is time to take a
stand.
Martin Luther in his stand against the RC religion of his day
said "I CANNOT AND I WILL NOT RECANT."
Jesus Christ disrupted things in the temple when he took
action and overturned a few tables. Who got upset and who got
inspired. Remember God's Word: "And his disciples
remembered that it was written, The zeal of [or for] thine
house hath eaten me up [given me courage]. It's your territory
don't let them use it to violate God's Word.
8. Don't talk to them alone. They are especially adept at
destroying individual souls with phone calls and in
"Private counseling meetings." It is not your
problem. It is theirs! Put an answering machine on your phone
and don't let your wife or children talk to them alone.
Do not subject your children or young ones to their lengthy
blatant and subtle verbal abuse. It may be brazenly obvious to
you, but damaging to them. You will not want them to hear how
they will attempt to destroy the good witness of the Wagners.
The company line is it is improper to question anything....
except yourself.
Those are only a few of the things I thought of off the top of
my head. But I exhort you to follow Bob and Cari Wagner's
example and take a stand for the one true God. He has not
limited himself to one shrinking organization. There are many
other organizations large and small that still teach the
rightly divided Word. Some of them even send Sunday teaching
service tapes for free and allow you to buy your own set of
class tapes to run when and how you choose. God is able to
deliver you to the uttermost. He continues to honor the
believing and prayers of over 96,000 who said enough is
enough. He will not do less for the 4,200 still in the
ministry.
You are in our prayers
THE WATCHMAN 33
PS: Be sure to call or e-mail Bob
and Cari for their valiant stand and wonderful "tupos"
example.
