Question: Dear Brother Thanks for answering my post. I ended the dialogue between James and myself. He just does not want to listen, and seems to be incapable of listening. My cousin called me last night to tell me she bumped into James at the Knights of Columbus and he was acting very strange. He seems to think he can persuade people through his eyes. She said he just kept staring at her most of the time with this glassy eyed stare and smirk. He's starting his own website which is going to be his way of "evangelizing", I guess. I told him to post a question to you because he seemed so confused, and then he had not many nice things to say about you when you answered him. I told him the Holy Spirit would lead him to the Church, if in fact he was hearing the Holy Spirit, and then the Spirit would help him help others toward the Church. Well, all of this is pretty much what stirred him to answer that foul answer I sent you in my post. I told him "you're confused, good bye". He won't listen to any reason. And when I told him, all this in email, that he's speaking in riddles and the Holy Spirit doesn't speak in riddles, he says "that's the way the Bible is written". I think he thinks hes the reincarnation of some prophet. Which one I don't know. All I can do now is just pray. I think he wanted to recruit you, and your answer wasn't satisfactory for him. He's trying to "recruit" people. He's really disturbed. I had heard at some point years ago that he had been sexually abused by one of his parents and possibly by his older brothers. I always thought he had trouble with his emotions and being able to express himself or confide in someone. It's really sad. He never once said Merry Christmas, which to me wreaks of evil. Somehow the evil one prays on the good people who are mentally disturbed. He has emailed me twice since I said good bye, but I haven't read them yet. I don't think anything I'd write would change his mind. Thank you for reading and being there. You've done more for Christianity than either he or I have. Have a healthy New Year. Jim

Question:

Dear Brother

Thanks for answering my post. I ended the dialogue between James and myself. He just does not want to listen, and seems to be incapable of listening. My cousin called me last night to tell me she bumped into James at the Knights of Columbus and he was acting very strange. He seems to think he can persuade people through his eyes. She said he just kept staring at her most of the time with this glassy eyed stare and smirk. He's starting his own website which is going to be his way of "evangelizing", I guess. I told him to post a question to you because he seemed so confused, and then he had not many nice things to say about you when you answered him.

I told him the Holy Spirit would lead him to the Church, if in fact he was hearing the Holy Spirit, and then the Spirit would help him help others toward the Church. Well, all of this is pretty much what stirred him to answer that foul answer I sent you in my post.

I told him "you're confused, good bye". He won't listen to any reason. And when I told him, all this in email, that he's speaking in riddles and the Holy Spirit doesn't speak in riddles, he says "that's the way the Bible is written".
