Still a Liar - in his own words

--I will have to admit that both when I started Servants’ News in 1995, and when I began the work for the Christian community at Port Austin in 2003, I wrote things that left the appearance that they were more than they were.--cited from: http://www.servantsnews.com/sn0807/sn0807small.pdf page 2

A lie is still a lie.

"Port Austin Bible Campus Update: PABC Accomplishments Thus Far
by Norman Scott Edwards

This update is an honest effort to explain the situation as it is at the Port Austin Bible Campus. I will have to admit that both when I started Servants’ News in 1995, and when I began the work for the Christian community at Port Austin in 2003, I wrote things that left the appearance that they were more than they were. No untruths were written, but there was often not clear distinction between what existed, what we reasonably hoped to obtain, and what we were mostly dreaming about. Some problems were minimized or left out.

I thought I had a good reasons for doing this: People want to be a part of something big and successful. People are scared away when you have trouble: lawsuits, fires, financial difficulty."

And, you're right, Norm. No one wants to support a sinking ship. You go on to say in later pages of Servants News, August, 2008, that you are planning on removing to Spring Vale Academy in September, 2008, and that you won't be holding a Feast of Tabernacles in Port Austin this Fall--but you beg throughout this edition to please send you money, send me your money, support me. You refuse to work--you are a professional beggar.

The Apostle Paul said how to judge a true servant of God, one who works on the same terms as the apostle--he never asked for money!
