THIS IS MEANT AS A PRIVATE MESSAGE FOR TEX. PLEASE DO NOT CONTINUE IF YOU ARE NOT TEX (UNLESS YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN WHO MAY ALSO BE ABLE TO HELP).
___________ Dear Tex, Thank you for replying. As I have said in the past, I understand that you may not want to talk openly about things related to the source of your anger and loneliness on this website, so I understand why you framed your message in the way you did. Many people who are not totally comfortable with aspects of their lives often seek to make light of their attributes and tendencies as a means of indicating to others that the are unconcerned about said attribute/tendency, and I think you have adapted this coping strategy effectively in your own case. No man is an island, and you are hardly alone in using this defensive strategy, so don't worry for I am not angry at you for employing it. At the same time, I hope you will give more consideration to addressing the issues underlying your unhappiness at other moments, when you are not in the public spotlight. As I have said, I stand ready to assist when the time is right, as does Sarah, and you have our email address if you want to contact us privately, as I think might be most constructive; but if it turns out that other Christians with a proper understanding of the Truth are more suitably located for you, please do not hesitate out of fear of disappointing me to seek their help instead, although I would suggest in this case that you at least submit their name and church to us first to ensure that they are well place to provide accurate instruction on what is necessary to move from the darkness to a position of light from which you can properly embrace His love. Thank you again for contacting me and I hope the voice in your subconscious which appears as if it may have been the underlying motivator of the subject of your message encourages you to take more confident strokes along this stream in the future. Good luck and, as ever, rest as easy as possible in the circumstances knowing that you remain in our prayers,
Jacob
