Actually, I think these questions were reasonable considering how the Family works. I believe I asked them respectfully, and at the same time expressed an understanding that the questions are tiresome by thanking you for your patience. I am not out to discount you regardless of what you might reasonably think. That is not the point of my asking at all.
In fact, it was the only area of question that I personally had left. So simple yes or no answers to the direct questions would be all I would want to trust you. Not that you HAVE to prove anything to anybody. I think a direct response to the questions (simple yes or no answers) will have covered about every base of room for doubting you that some may have.
It is impossible to convey to you, when you are unable to read my body language or know the intent of my mind in asking, how sincere I am with these questions. I can only tell you where I am coming from and then hope you can trust ME. It is a two way street here. I am asking you to trust my motives.
In reality, if you WERE still tithing or receiving lit from Zerby, but you cut out and refused to follow certain doctrines, I would also applaud your honesty in saying so. (i.e. FM status or other similar).
I ask this because I have considered telling some people who may perhaps be potential donors to Love's Bridge and so naturally I want to be aware of what it is exactly. When I become more financially able, I would be interested in contributing myself.
Your site is impressive, and certainly the cause is very worthy. i have often thought about street kids in Brazil, but until viewing your site, I was never even aware that there was such a need in Russia.
