WOW it really must be hard on a person that has
taken the time to study out a subject and put it in
print to find out that no one wants to publish it

Publishers have agendas.
Our publishers want "truth" but they do not have a mechanism in place to identify truth. It is a subjective rather than an objective review process.
I once sent an article to Brother Johnsson at the Review. It was a very complicated article. He sent it to Brother Shea at the BRI for review. Brother Shea, totally misunderstood what I wrote. In his letter of response, Bro. Shae built a straw man that he subsequently dissected. He showed all the faults in his straw man and implied that they were faults in my article. But in fact, there was nothing in his straw man that remotely resembled what I had written and his conclusions that were supposed to be in opposition to what I had written agreed completely with what I had written.
When I followed up with Brother Shea, he had concluded that I believed something that I did not believe and he told me that he did not have time to correspond further. And that door was closed. Even after he retired from the BRI, his successor (Bro. Reid if I recall) would not correspond with me.
What really is hard is that those that should be most interested in looking at the light from every angle, prefer to stay in darkness. And it is heart breaking to know that errors have crept into the Church since 1844 and they are being embraced by those that should know better.
The Lord's word will get out in His time to His people. But woe to those who claim to be His people that have positions of authority but cast their shadow over the light of truth that God has been pleased to send to His people. Those that are working at cross purposes with God will have to give an account for the sheep that were in their care, the sheep that might have been gathered in if they had been faithful to their duties.
Do not think that I am singling out any individual for God's wrath. I related my experience with two people, but God has many faithful people and many that are walking in the sparks of their own kindling. The wheat and tares are to grow together until the harvest and God will separate them one from the other in His good time.
In the meantime, I write and share and people are blessed. Some people tell me that they wish they had known what I write sooner, but others think that I am the worse scum of the earth.
It all comes down to rightly dividing the word of truth. I have been faithful in study, prayer and in sharing. But it is up to the individual to determine if it is of God or not. As the people in Moses' day had to choose for themselves to look upon the brazen serpent or to refuse, so it is today: those that look for truth will find it.
I have some very short youtube videos that summarize my studies check 'em out send me a pm loudcry.2007@gmail.com
