Letter to Mr. Tkach, Jr. from Jules Dervaes

Joseph Tkach, Jr.: Betrayal begets betrayal; one coup only spawns others. It was your father who showed those who followed him how they, too—each in his own time, each for his own personal reasons—could turn from the appointed way. In first providing the rationale and setting the premier example of breaking the covenant with Mr. […]

Letter to Mr. Tkach from Mignon Rubio

Dear Mr. Tkach: A few years ago, I could not have written any letter to you as it would have been difficult, if not impossible, for me to have felt any Christian sentiments upon hearing that you were ill. And, even now, there is a struggle inside me to concern myself with your condition in […]

Dear Mr. Tkach, I am the fourteen-year-old son of Mr. Dervaes and have spent three and a half years holding banners and signs across from the Ambassador College campus for what we believe is right.

Letter to Mr. Tkach from Jules Dervaes

Mr. Joseph Tkach, Sr.: It has been years since I last contacted you directly, although I tried for three and a half years to send you a message via my banners on the streets around Ambassador College.

(SIR:) Having picked up your letter yesterday from my post office box, I am writing you directly about your request.

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 […]

Letter to (Sir) from Jules Dervaes

Dear (Sir), Thank you for your letter of September 19. I put it aside until I had finished with writing another individual. And, with the intervening Feasts, I’m only now able to respond to your concern. With this mailing I will enclose all the material which I have publicly made available, as of this date, […]
