Letter to (Sir) from Jules Dervaes

(SIR:)
Responding to your request I sent you the literature which I have been distributing (The Letter to Laodicea, etc.). At that time I knew nothing of you personally, nothing of what you stood for. Now it’s become obvious of late that you have decided to put me on YOUR mailing list-something that I have never requested.
Because I am not one to play the ostrich, I did read some of your material to investigate your position and to acquaint myself with the news of the day regarding the Worldwide Church of God. Sadly, it is plain that you are pushing your own agenda, one predicated on self-delusion. Because you have understood PIECES of truth—AS OTHERS HAVE DONE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRETY OF HISTORY—you have proceeded to fashion a system tailored to your own personal ends.
With a little sugarcoating of truth, much vile error can easily and unwittingly be swallowed. And so, your work has created a danger a “thousand times” greater and more heinous than any pagan/Gentile philosophy. You are, consequently, a menace to God’s TRUE work and you will be harshly dealt with by Him because you purport to represent HIM in disseminating your poison to others. Know this, that you will be held accountable for the “children” you have led astray and that, if you don’t repent, you will receive the punishment of a FALSE prophet!
I state here and now that I have NO agreement with you, that I desire NO association with you, and that I will have NO affiliation with you. And I require that you delete all references to me and the 800-LAST ERA number—which is MY WORK and MINE ALONE—in any of your future publications with the implication that I have joined you or have some part in your work.
Remove me also from your mailing list. It is all too clear that you want to be a teacher of truth without being a SEEKER of truth. And, God doesn’t work that way!
May God help you to rid yourself of satanic delusions.
Jules Dervaes
