To the Editor:

The "Reverend" Barbara Hager is the real menace here.

This woman claims to be not only a minister and a lawyer, but a member of a judicial commission. Rolf Jensen's filings against the apostates will, in the short term, prove futile, as the lawyers, the manipulators and other insiders who populate the permanent judicial commissions whine and weasel about what the meaning of "is" is. My version of the New Testament, at Luke 11:46 has Jesus saying "Curse ye lawyers, for you place burdens on others that you will not bear."

Such as requiring an eyewitness to deviant sexual behaviour in order to remove a defiant, self-declaring homosexual from our ministry.

Also at Luke, beginning at 12:57, Jesus urges believers not to take their disputes to the law courts, but to judge for yourself. Of course the Hagers of our church would have us do just that – after a fashion – by becoming a congregational church, each congregation existing in their own little orbit, practicing their personal heresies. Our salvation, unfortunately, will lie in defiance: of those such as "Reverend" Hagar who wish silence in the pews.
