Saint*,
(*Names and Church have been changed)
Through the tears I write this letter to you (as well to all who may ever read it).
I will address some areas in your gentle and benevolent response to me before addressing the CCM issue as it will take the most space in this letter.
Your choice and use of words are commendable and reasoning exceptional; though the “swine” you perceive me to have insinuated toward CCC members is not an accurate perception of my comments on your part. I do understand how the forceful language I used in my letter to you could be understood as such.

However, I don’t think I will be well received once others get to know me. I’m too radical some say.
Saint, this country is on the verge of catastrophe and 10's of millions are going to suffer from and be victims of the coming chaos and the churches I have visited (‘1st day-ers’ or 7th ‘day-ers’) are not only in debt as individuals and families but as a church body and are no more prepared for their own food production than they are prepared to meet their God who is a consuming fire.
