I have been told that I am "not to have any contact with WAIT members in Kansas and to have nothing to do with a WAIT website". I have to disagree on legal, moral, and ethical grounds, and by Constitutional right.
I am stating this in the public realm that I will have no further e-mail contact with church or program leaders who do not come to the table on neutral grounds without preconceptions and who are not willing to follow their own principles and teachings.
You know how to contact me by phone when your heart is in the right place and you have achieved a God-centered position. Then, only then, can you make the right decision; as you have proven that you are incapable of making at this time.
I am tired of those who keep insisting that I require counseling or a period of "therapeutic healing". It's nonsense, I have no "problem", and it's a complete slap in the face to In Jin Nim's words of "the Ideal is I deal with it". You have chosen not to deal with it but to reject it and push it away to a point where it is no longer an issue (or so you feel). I have been told that certain people have made the decisions they have made in regards to me because they love me and they have my best interests at heart. That is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. One does not cut someone off from a "atmosphere of spiritual growth and teaching" as you have called it "out of love", one does not refuse to listen to a "brother" or a "son" as I have been described within the church structure, and one does not deny someone the ability to work with Youth inside or outside the church based only on "paranoia" and "assumption" without substantial evidence. Sure, it is the right of the parent, but is it "right"? You want to change the world, but you are instead, becoming the world.
I pray for all you Youth who may read this that you may learn something from this so that when you one day stand in a position of leadership you will not make the same mistake. Do not doubt the programs you are involved in, but be willing to challenge them in the proper manner when they do not align with what you feel in your heart is the God-centered direction. Nobody is perfect, not even me, not even church leaders.
Once again, I am stating this in the public realm that I will have no further
e-mail contact with church or program leaders who do not come to the
table on neutral grounds without preconceptions and who are not willing
to follow their own principles and teachings. You know how to contact me by phone.
To all you Youth - I hope the rest of your school year goes by well, I miss a lot of you and will likely visit some of you this summer.
Danny, Gabriel, and other Gabriel I hope you guys are doing well, it's not likely that you will read this, but I am here if you need something.
Mikito, I hope your recent games have been a success. I have seen you improve a lot in the past few weeks and I will have to make sure I find somewhere to practice and keep up with you! ^_^ I miss you a ton bro, and I'll always be here for you.
Peace out Yall,
James
