and yes there are times we have to talk with our children and explain things but we have the opportunity of doing it with a right spirit.

Sis Alvear, perhaps you should have considered this same philosophy that has served you so well before posting this thread.

You have just given fuel to some who are always looking for a reason to distrust the ministry.

If you were personally observing this, why didn't you speak to them about it instead of bringing it here where everyone from saints in some of these churches to bitter, former Pentecostals can read it?

How many on this forum will now be encouraged to go to church?

That is not right, she was bringing something that had burdened her.

If that is the way you feel about all this, why are you on the forum, reading it?

We all get done wrong...we all get hurt...that is life...but how we react to anger and hurt depend on our self control....

Just since I have been home someone came to me and told me something someone else was telling about our home and family...the sad part we helped that person for many years then when something went wrong the person went off and told absurd things...I did not speak one evil word about the person to the one that was telling me the story in front of my son...my only reply was if the story were true it is strange the person lived at my house for years and was happy...
Sometimes those that gossip about us really would like to be us...since they cannot be they try to tear down the folks they secretly would like to be...

After we left my son said, mother why didn't you tell this or that I told him what I will tell you, Life is too short to spend time tearing others down...

Circumstances come...problems have to be solved. I will be the first to say I have made lots of mistakes trying to solve problems but I have tryed to do my best to help people and shield my children from endless gossip...and I really hate to see my husband ( Brother Alvear) know how much Americans fuss and fight...He is such a peace loving person.

Just seems to me that these "cannibals" are more than likely those that have supported their missions and had them preach while they were in the states. It's the only churches I read about them visiting.

It would seem ethical to me that she owes them a chance to correct that impression before it is offered here to us.

She named no names or even made allusions as to who, or what, or where she was speaking off. Speaking of bitterness?????

Josh...you must not be in the ministry...sorry if I said anything to hurt you. All know I would do nothing to hurt the church. I have given my life helping others.

I visit all type churches from UC to liberal churches...so you are wrong in your judging. I am only concerned about the innocent that are becoming bitter. Josh, I have weathered the storms for 40 years of ministry and come out on top and hoping to leave a legency of love and hope for my children.

Josh, whoever you are you must have some serious problems. I am speaking in general terms...Read the forums see how many of our own that are being destroyed...I do not even personally know most of them but I respect what they have done for God whether I agree with their politics or not.
