I hear he doesn't worry a lot because he prefers to be happy. Can't blame him.

I don't know what VF was like before 1989, but I can honestly say that he became a very humble man who took his faith seriously. 

And how!!  If people want to attend his fellowships, that's great.  If they don't want to, they don't have to.  I remember when Vince was the Limb Leader of NY, back in the 1980's.  I thought he did a great job back then, and I think he is probably doing a great job today.  If people want to hear him teach, that is fine with him.  If they don't, they don't.  He is not going to force himself on anyone.

Ralph posts here from time to time.  He's insightful and hilarious!  Don't think it's my place to reveal what he goes by but if you read the posts enough you'll figure out it's him.

That is so wonderful to hear!!  Ralph was/is a great guy!!  I loved hearing him teach.  I wish him the best of everything!

I remember at least once posting about what I called "The Epistle of Chris Geer to the Americans."

I remember people being astonished that Geer would have the arrogance and gall to write an epistle. I owe Geer an apology in that regard, as the use of the word "epistle" was my choice, not his, and epistle is, after all, just another word for "letter."

So Chris Geer wrote a letter to Americans shortly after the 1989 schism.

That letter is posted on GS, and has been for a while. I don't know that I ever acknowledged that this letter was the very document I referred to as "The Epistle of Chris Geer to the Americans."

In any event, and for what it's worth, enjoy. Or don't. ;)

For the curious, I went to try to retrieve the letter.  The first page seems to have been incompletely archived, so I don't have a copy. (At least, not at the moment.)

I'll see if I can copy and post the rest.

Ok, upload is locking me out, but I'll repost pages 3 and 4 when I can.

Thanks for doing this, WW. Looking forward to pages 3 and 4, or else an unbroken hyperlink to the file.

Your post is especially timely, as Chris Geer's name has been showing up in my feed lately -- Invoked by survivors and current sycophants alike.
