SEVEN THUNDERS HERESY AND ITS GROWTH

ERROR NUMBER THREE

 

CHAPTER EIGHT

 

INTRODUCTION

 

Introduction to chapter eight, preached at Bethel the House of God, 26/10/2008, after close of discourse.

 

                1 Thessalonians 4:15-18 <For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.>

 

                May the Lord add the blessing to the reading of his holy words, you may be seated. What great words of comfort. To think that we will ever be with the Lord; and the joy of his presence that you feel from day to day will be magnified by millions of times. No wonder why we will never sleep, we will never grow tired, never grow hungry, there are no beds in heaven. You may say, “How can you say that there wouldn’t be any beds in heaven preacher?” Because there will be no sleeping. The Bible says, “God doesn’t slumber nor sleep”, and how could you be sleeping when God doesn’t sleep? He neither slumbers nor sleep; God is not sleeping. And those words used to be coined often by the old timers and they were true and correct that God doesn’t sleep. If you did evil to them they used to say that God doesn’t sleep; He will avenge them.

                So by now you would understand that this discourse on the C.A.B. with pastor Kocourek and indirectly Dr. Vayle, closed on our last message. But I gave him a chance to respond to whatever I had to say and he did respond very swiftly. I was hoping that he would bring out some secret scriptures and quotations and disarm the Caribbean alligator. But again I didn’t see that and I don’t expect that. Nobody could defeat this Word of God that will take down the cedars of Lebanon and calm the strong bulls of Bashan. So I am jumping ahead a little bit tonight to let you know how he responded to my discourse with him. The Chapters in the book will have to be reset according to the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. The contents of the C.A.B. discourse will remain in its original form.

               

 

GROWTH OF 7 THUNDERS HERESY

 

I am going to show you how heresies grow. This heresy on C.A.B. page 327 that Dr. Vayle injected concerning the seven thunders, saying that “Malachi 4 will reveal the thunders, it is his ministry to do it and it cannot be revealed without a prophet”; probably he did not understand what he was doing and what he was getting into. But when you make certain statements on vital doctrines and you claim that it is fulfilled, there are several other things that are pertinent to that one doctrine and as you go along you will have to tell the people about the doctrines that pertain to that major doctrine that you misinterpreted. And if you would understand, the seven thunders connects the rapture, it connects the translation, and it connects the resurrection. The prophet said that the seventh seal is a resurrection seal; it has to do with the capstone because the seven thunders is in the capstone. So now, all these branches of doctrines you will have to tell the people about some time or the other. Even if it is five or ten years later, they will ask you questions and beside that you will be conscious that you have to give an explanation for that. So when you say the seven thunders will be revealed by Malachi 4 you will have to show where he revealed it. When you say it concerns the resurrection you will have to tell them about the resurrection and the rapture. Now I am here to announce to you, that is what happened to Dr. Vayle. Through the course of time from 1965 when the book was published he had to give certain answers and then he was going down in age. So all these heresies that will be dealt with tonight, a lot of them is connected to that one error which I call the third error.

Now that one error has grown throughout the message world. Ninety five or ninety nine percent might be a better guess to say that everybody is preaching a heresy on the thunders through that one quotation and other isolated quotations of Brother Branham. You are talking about fanatics, you are talking about heresies, you are talking about men who arose to claim that they are eight messengers and the one with the thunders, and the rapture is going on. Great men I am telling you about; a man like C.W. Woods said that the thunders are revealed and it was revealed in secret; Pastor Coleman. Another fellow believes that there are fourteen seals. Then Mr. Santiago believes that he is Christ on earth, the covenant angel, and on and on we can go. E.O.D.H. book twelve exposed many of them.

Everybody who gained that concept that the seven thunders was revealed by Brother Branham or otherwise, they got into some kind of an ism, which is exactly what the prophet told them not to do. So now we have a mass of confusion around the message world on the thunders and if you are not preaching seven thunders you are not spiritual. So they look at us as the most unspiritual people because we are saying that the thunders were not revealed in 1963 by Brother Branham. Now by our doctrine we are living better lives, we are upholding the holiness standard of the message, our doctrine is irreproachable, our doctrine is undefeatable and it can challenge all their thunders and all their cults, and we have challenged them to expose us. There was not a man that ever wrote a book to expose the exposition, and those who tried to exposed themselves. We have not followed cunningly devised fables.

 

 

DR. VAYLE’S SUGGESTIVE TERMS

 

After awhile when I am finished dealing with Pastor Kocourek, I wish to change my voice a little bit and get to Dr. Lee Vayle and show you how differently he spoke than his successor. He spoke in suggestive terms. And I know a lot of people who hate Dr. Vayle and have tried to expose him for many years will be mad with me, because they will say that I am giving Dr. Vayle special favour, and I am not calling him a heretic, and I am not exposing him as a heretic to the world. God has not led me to do that, even because of the man’s attitude. In many of his doctrines he spoke like this and said, “I don’t know, I could be wrong, somebody could correct me, I don’t know if I have the right to compare it” etc. So then, I cannot come down upon a man unless he hears the truth and then starts fighting the truth. At this present time he is 94 years of age, I also consider that. And I don’t know if he has even heard what I had to say, not that I am something but the fact is that the Word is exposing his heresies; that is how it stands. Now other men, like pastor Kocourek who is 55 years of age, he knows better and is fighting a nasty battle; then he has to get the sharp edge of the sword.

I want you to understand the growth of sin. Apply that to yourself or anybody whom you think it fits, and then you will understand the growth of a false conception, of how far that can carry you, and the growth of a single heresy, of how far and wide it can stretch out. Do you know that one false conception has the world in the condition that it is in today? And the conception is that the fruit is pleasant to the eyes and one to be desired, and if you eat it you shall not die. That is the reason for the condition that the world is in today, all the death, all the sickness, all the violence and all the sin. Everything that goes on in the world traces back to one conception. Should we play with a heresy? No, we cannot play with a heresy.

Now, this letter is the aftermath of our discourse. I wanted to be fair with this man, to give him a chance that if he forgot the Word; or forgot the message; or got carried away; or was nervous, that he might have a chance to explain himself. So I allowed him to respond. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

         

PASTOR KOCOUREK’S ANGRY RESPONSES

>E.O.D.H. ANSWERS<      

 

Date:      5/10/08

                Dear Brother, Reverend Kocourek,

                                                                    Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ, our soon coming King and Judge of all the earth. Thank you for your most welcomed and speedy reply. However, you have failed once more to address my statements of response to your many heresies. Now that you are exposed, you have again put on your sheepskin to fool the public with a seemingly humble spirit and propagate me as the renegade, anti-message and anti-Branham. You were unable in your final discourse to address my answers to you, and have given an oration that is totally contrary to the Word and the message of the prophet. This you have done to save your face. I will now address your final letter to me.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Dear pastor Bruce, It is not I that uses name calling as my weapon, but you my brother. I use the Word of God and the Prophets quotes, so I must have hit a nerve with you? Why are you so incensed that you call me names? Did I call you names?

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: This is not a matter of calling or not calling names, but exposing damnable heresies. You are not greater than Paul the apostle. You don’t have more brotherly love than him. He called the names of Hymaneus, Alexander and Philitus. You are saying these things to dodge the issue of your exposition. You have expressed your weakness in not answering to the things that I stated.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Are you upset because I put my discourse  on the internet without your namef or all to read? Or are you made because I did it without your permission? Or is it because I chose not to give you any credit by leaving your name off of it?  Truly my brother, I just did it because you like so many are in error and think the Church Age book was br. Vayle's book. And I did not place your name on it hoping you would see the overwhelming evidence of your error, and repent. But seeing your response was filled with angry nasty name calling, I see that you are incapable of repenting. For that I am truly sorry.

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: I am not afraid one bit. I challenge you. Put my name right under it. I am not upset in the least. I am ashamed of your principle, and here you are making a dumb excuse. All these things I have already explained in my answers to you. You are just making up time

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: I suspected when I received your reply in the dorm of a discourse that you were trying to set me up, so you could add my name to your website, and so I was right about your motive. It never was in the spirit of a Christian brotherly effort as all these 38 slanderous statements you made in your discourse make it overwhelmingly apparent. Your motive never was to have a Christian discourse, but to gather facts to repute my request to you to take your slander off your website. I knew you planned all along to send me your discourse and that you from the begining intended to place it on your website seeing that you had no intention of removing your slurs against Br. Vayle from your website. I knew you could not repent of what you did to undermine the name of Lee Vayle and William Branham which you have impuned on your website, because your discourse to me showed no room for repentance. You are a very sick person my friend. 

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: Here again you made yourself a carnal judge. Such lies never entered my thoughts. Your suspicions are evil and carnal to the core. From the beginning, I allowed you space to repent. But you are unrepentant, swellheaded, and pretended that you had nothing to repent about. Now you are asking for a space for repentance to save your face in public. You went to the public, not me, and your excuse for doing so is to say that I would have placed it on my website.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: You blasted the Church Age Book (brother Branham's book) as full of heresies written by lee Vayle. You say that you did not say the church age book was full of errors, but you did. 38 times times you said it was erroneous, false, unscriptural, not supported by Scripture, etc. 38 times you accused the book and Brother Vayle in your discourse my brother. To me, that is saying it is full of error. But choke on a gnat in swallowing your camel, for that is what you have done.

 

                E.O.DH. Answer: You intend to stick with this big lie, after all my exposition of your lying tongue. Give me the statement. You cannot produce the statement where I said that the C.A.B. is full of heresies. I said that the three errors in the C.A.B. are erroneous, and I numbered them 1, 2 and 3 major errors, but you are bent on telling a lie to make me anti-message and anti-Branham. All will read our discourse and find that you are lying.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: You have shown me by your rep[ly that you hate God and the Truth. I know now, who is on whose side. all around the world will also have access to this email respnse, God said,  Revelations 21  And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. 22  Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: This better fits you reverend, because you have proven yourself to be a total unbeliever in the Word and message. Those who read our discourse will determine a little better.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: These are your fighting words brother dalton, and look how arrogant they are..."you sought to defend Dr. Vayle by my correction to his doctrine"  Brother Bruce, who do you think you are to correct the church age book which is brother Branham's book? And whop do you think you are to rebuke an elder. That is totaslly unscriptural for you to do so, especially when you choose to resist the truth as it has been put forth to you.

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: Again your hideous lie is your defense. I am correcting three major heresies injected into the C.A.B. Who are you, by the way? And who is Dr. Vayle, by the way? I guess your idol. I don’t have to be anything. The Word is sufficient to expose a heresy. Respect is due unto true elders who uphold all the truth. Are you saying that when the prophet exposed the heresies of the Catholic Church, he disrespected an elder? Or when he exposed Oral Roberts and Billy Graham as the two blinding angels to Sodom, he disrespected his elders? You do err not knowing the scriptures nor the power of God. Repent or shut up.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Now, here are yor attacks on Br. Vayle and myself. and tell me your language was not arrogant and full of vile accusations?

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: My language is perfectly scriptural. If you want to correct me correct Jesus (Matthew 23), Stephen (Acts 7); Peter (2 Peter Chapter 2) and John the Baptist.

 

1. certain major doctrinal issues are inconsistent with the teachings of the prophet,

 

2. unscriptural and

3. erroneous. This is the basis of our discourse.

 

4. My discourse is solemnly based upon the errors injected into the grammarized  version of the C.A.B. by Dr. Lee Vayle.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Br. Dalton, I have a copy in my home right now of the Church Age Book with William Branham's signature on the front cover of that book. The book has Brother Branham's own signature my brother. Brother Branham signed this copy himself.  Do you have such evidence to show it was not Br. Branham's book? I suppose you will resort to say I have a forged copy of br. Branham's signature like you lied about sister Branham's testimony to me which you never heard.

Do you think brother Branham would sign his name to something that was in error?

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: There is no question about the C.A.B. being Brother Branham’s book. The discussion is about Dr. Vayle injecting three major errors into Brother Branham’s book. You are trying to dodge the issue and implicate me. I explained that everywhere in my discourse that I have accepted the book as Brother Branham’s. Your signature, false or true, does not make a difference, as it is not important.

                All our tapes and E.O.D.H. books are witnesses against your lies, which say that I am anti-C.A.B. and anti-Branham. I made use of quotations of the C.A.B. throughout my writings (Books 1 to 17), and thousands of tape recorded sermons.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: You also slandered br. Vayle with the following indictments.

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: It is amazing that Dr. Vayle’s mighty successor cannot divide slander from exposition of errors. Now, who is sick, who cannot read and who cannot spell? You have cunningly selected parts of sentences out of my discourse to make me look like anti-C.A.B. and anti-Branham. Every indication that you made below, I have already answered. I am right, you are wrong. Repent or perish.

 

 5.  all the errors that were injected into the grammerized version

 

6. three major, unscriptural, doctrines which were injected into the C.A.B. by Dr. Vayle

 

7. brother Vayle indicated that Adam also committed adultery with his own wife

 

8. the teaching and explanation that he gave on the subject, cannot be supported by the Word of God

 

9. The scripture that he indicated to support his case does not support it

 

10. He dislocated,

11. misplaced and

12. misinterpreted the word of God

 

13. It is unscriptural and

14. erroneous

 

15. I demand that you quote one scripture to support this erroneous,

16. False teaching

 

17. show one quotation of Brother Branham to support this error.

 

18.  It is unscriptural and

19. erroneous to say

 

20. taught us falsely

 

21. Dr. Vayleʼs teaching is legalistic,

22. unscriptural and

23. contrary to the teaching of  W.M. Branham

 

24. It is unscriptural and

25. erroneous

 

26. this error,

 

27. The C.A.B. has already circled the globe and established that error since its publication in 1965

 

28. that erroneous doctrine

 

29. This is not a small matter but a destructive heresy.

 

30. Dr. Vayleʼs Erroneous  Answer

 

31. The messenger said differently and opposite to Dr. Vayle and the church age book

 

32. Dr. Vayle misinterpreted

 

33. It is in opposition to the message and the prophet.

 

34. the exposition of this gross error that was injected into the C.A.B.

 

35. your erroneous teaching

 

36. the ignorance of Dr. Vayle

 

37. he perverted Deuteronomy 24: 1-4 and

38. formulated several heresies

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Now, brother Dalton, You have called me an unmannerly pig, you have called me a carnal liar, you have called me arrogant,.you have called me the poorest example, you have accused me of selfish pride and ambition, you have accused me of having a lying spirit upon me,

                Mt brother all I asked you to do was to repent for your attacks on Brother Branham's book which he wrote and edited. i showed you many scriptures and quotations and yet you lie and say I did not. jesus said, "You are of your father the devil and you can not receive the truth because there is no place for the truth in you".

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: Amen. Brother Kocourek; I want to further confirm those things, and magnify the word “pig” to “hog.” Anybody could see your hoggish ways, after reading just a little of your response to my courteous way of discussing the subject matter with you. So don’t cry. Those words were employed to get you to repent. I have not come even near the descriptive words of Jesus in Matthew 23. If I had told you that your throat is an open sepulcher, and that you are a grave that appear not, you might have sued me at the law. They called Jesus “Beelzebub” and He never complained. Why weep? Because you don’t have the truth and are defending heresies. You are afraid of exposition. I have nothing to repent about and refuse to do so concerning the truth. You perverted the scriptures, lied and formulated heresies to defend heresies. The Pharisees did the same. They abode not in the truth like you. Place the words of Jesus to whom it fits.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: You speak from ignorance, I speak from the voice of experience. I have checked my sourced, you have not checked yours. You have spoken to no one but your own inner self.

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: Who made you a carnal judge of me? This is where so-called Pentecost made their mistake. They leaned off on their experiences and left the Word behind. You still have that spirit. With all your knowledge, you are unable to address one of my scriptural answers. So you resorted to boasting and crying about names that I called you and your hideous lie that I am attacking the C.A.B.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Why can not you repent my brother. Is it because of hebrews 6? So speak against the Holy Ghost you will never be forgiven. I hope not. I have tried to love you and befriend you but when you spoke 38 times in denouncing brother Vayle you chose to do battle with the wrong person. And since you did not meerly e-mail me but placed your answer to my request for you to remove your disrespectful diatribe against brother Vayle on your document which you use for your website, I knew what motivated you. You see, instead of saying, "brother, I realize the language I used is a bit harsh, forgive me and I will use more proper language. But no, you chose to slander his name and mine 38 times in your supposedely Christian letter. If that is Christian attitude to you, then brother your brand of Christianity is in need of a change.

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: When I spoke 38 times, it was against heresies and those who formulate heresies, not the truth. You are a carnal interpreter of Hebrews 6. Who do you think you are scaring? You cannot answer the things that I have stated, so you are dumping me in hell and beyond repentance. Shame on you. A man blasphemes when he rejects truth and the Holy Ghost, not heresies.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: You attacked me for making your arguments known to the world. what is the matter, Are you afraid of what you declare to be God leading you? It was not God leading you but your own imagination and pride.  And when you were called on it, you blew up like and showed your anger. Shame on you my brother.

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: I told you, what scares a hero of the faith, kills a thousand cowards like you. So don’t be repetitious.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: I won't call you names, that is not a proper spirit for Christsians to do, but I do say you need to repent for your name calling, and judgmental spirit that is upon you. 

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: You better talk to Apostle Paul and Brother Branham, because you are saying they are not Christianlike.

 

Pastor Kocourek: You see, I knew for a long time that you have attacked brothers for very little, And at first I stood with you on what you called your "defense" of the Message, Or so it seemed. But as your list grew and grew it became very apparent to me that you just like to fight. That spirit of contention is not of God my brother, and I tried in a nice way to ask you to stop but you became very boastful, and arrogant and in name calling of brothetr Vayle and myself you showed me what spirit is in you.

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: Why bring up this now? You are a hypocrite. You should have corrected your brother long before now, if the love that you are projecting is genuine. But it is hypocritical, and only a covering to save your face from this exposition.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Now, I will see you one day at the white throne judgment, and let me tell you, you will be without excuse at that day. For you called my testimony with sister Branham a lie, and I was there and I know what she said, and she will testify against you as well. You who have never contacted anyone to find out the truth took your vile attitude to the world with your indictment of brother Vayle on your website.

 

E.O.D.H. Answer: Your own words and double statements proved you to be a liar. I did not have to be there. You lied on the prophet’s wife to elevate your idol. If you want, we could meet at the judgment. You would be at the judgment bar of Christ. I will be sitting upon a throne. So repent now.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: But you are the one who exposed himself as an imposter for you had not one fact to verify your false accusations, and your slander of the man of God br. Vayle shows what spirit is upon you.

 Call me all the names you wish, but those who read your words like "hoggish spirit", etc. will know a nerve was touched and you are exposed and can not escape it.

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: Yes sir; heresies touch all my nerves and wake up all my heroic fibers from the deepest recesses of my soul.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Put you refutation on your website and see what people wish to believe, and I will tell you one thing, they will not believe you. Your attitude can not be hid for your rhetoric is vile.        Br. Brian.

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: Let’s prove it sir. Let the public judge who has the nasty attitude. I can tell you right here; it’s you.

 

 

Pastor Kocourek: Hear ye Him 58-0126 P:20 if I fail to tell you, then I'd rather have you a little angry with me now, then to point your finger in my face at that day and say, "If you'd have told me, I would've corrected it." But it'd be too late then.I know,

 

                E.O.D.H. Answer: Amen. That is what I have done: corrected you, and you are angry with me. Amen.

 

                Reverend Pastor Kocourek, this, my response to your hypocritical letter, closes our communication. Based upon Christian and manly principles, I will now make our discourse public. See www.bethelthehouseofgod.net. I will also go to my next assignment to further expose your heresies and others of Dr. Vayle. I trust that you can then reconsider your soul’s salvation with those whom you have influenced by all your heresies internationally. Amen.

SUMMARY

 

                In our discourse there was a motivating factor that was unspoken by Pastor Kocourek. It is his biggest heresy and false conception. He believes that he has the revelation of the message after Dr. Vayle, who “succeeded Malachi 4: 5-6”, W. M. Branham. Also that he is ordained to teach ministers of the message. His other heresies prove this most important fact.

It can evidently be seen from this entire discourse that Pastor Kocourek endeavors, as successor and defender of Dr. Vayle and his ministry, were to defend his own ministry against a little nobody who pointed out errors included in the C.A.B. He questioned, “Who are you?” I appeared to him like a mouse challenging a lion. He became jealous for Dr. Vayle, and his own ministry, and failed to employ the Word and message. With such underestimation, he lost his temper, and compounded it with his arrogance to defend the man that he loves dearly and idolizes, because of his own profit.

He is fully conscious that protecting Dr. Vayle’s ministry amounts to protecting his own office as successor of the international fame, respect and adoration of Dr. Vayle, especially, for the unique work that was done in editing the C.A.B. Thus he used statements of the prophet that spoke of Dr. Vayle; this with the great hope that he may scare the little “mouse” of his vain imagination, to recant, withdraw his expositions, hold his peace and swallow Dr. Vayle’s heresies, like he did. When he did not, he became furious.

To give additional credibility to his mentor, he quoted a lie which he published about the prophet’s wife. He was exposed by his own words, which he spoke in an opposite manner. He employed that same method in our discourse. Thus, he resorted to lies, arrogance, hypocrisy and deceit. He never made mention of me having a bad attitude until I pointed out his arrogant behavior. He tried to employ that tool to dodge the real issues of my discourse.

His hideous lies of me as “ANTI-CAB, anti-message and anti-Branham” were exposed. He tried to defend his exposition by saying that I cannot read, thus, I do not understand what the C.A.B. is saying. I highlighted some of his misspellings, with the hope that he will understand that, he who cannot spell, cannot read. Seemingly, he was not embarrassed. I thought, being a university graduate, he would surely recognize his words as being incorrectly spelt; but he lacked that knowledge as he continued to do the same. I then realized that he was in a stupor by the vast exposition of his heresies which he employed to defend the  heresies injected into the C.A.B. and more so by his own. May our subscribers, along with his 3,000 ministers, 183 nations and supporters, excuse him.

However, I am totally embarrassed for the writer of the C.A.B. to leave behind such an incompetent successor. He demonstrated to all men his knowledge of writing, formatting and correcting his work grammatically before publication, only with the exception of three major heresies which he injected into the C.A.B. because of his lack of revelation of the message of Malachi 4: 5-6.

                When Pastor Kocourek was defeated by the Word, he applied Hebrews 6:4-6 to me: “Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost.” He condemned me to the white throne judgment. All his attempts failed. I did not deny the Word. However, I love Pastor Kocourek. I forgive him for all his evil inventions against me. May the Lord open his eyes to the truth. I do not condemn him to Hell. May he never fulfill Hebrews 6:4-6. However, he has spoken many Blasphemies. May our heavenly Father help Brother Vayle at 94 years of age and forgive him for his misinterpretation of the Word and message. I believe he did so in his ignorance. Perhaps, he is not even mentally capable to understand my opposition of his heresies at this time.

                Though we love him and Pastor Kocourek, they are wrong in their teachings, and for the love of God and his elect, we have exposed their heresies and must continue to do so, since love is corrective. After our discourse was closed, Pastor Kocourek, like a troubled, restless and haunted man, continued to write letters, though he warned me not to write him. Amen.
