Letter to Mr. Webber from Jules Dervaes

April 5, 1987

Dear Mr. Webber,

At this time before Passover, I wish to remind you that there is unfinished work which cannot go on being ignored. I am requesting that you put into practice Matthew 7:12 and that you follow the admonition of Matthew 5:23-24.

Please note that one of the unresolved issues in my case has recently been addressed by an article in The GOOD NEWS of February ’87. Its title is “Turning Criticism to Advantage.” I agree wholeheartedly with this biblical message. However, the principle behind these words that you have published does not agree with what you have told me in counseling.

Why is it, then, that I (and my wife) have been disfellowshipped for trying to follow Bible principles? Please read Leviticus 19:15 and 17.

Please consider now that your inconsistency with the Bible—and with your own literature—amounts to hypocrisy.

Jules Dervaes
