Forgive me, but I honestly feel that the Lord would have me to add something to that which I just said and I'll begin with a verse of scripture that somebody else mentioned on another thread the other day:
Proverbs chapter 27 verse 6
Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Be careful of the kisses of those who only agree with you because they harbor hatred towards others in their own hearts. I honestly believe that some of those who are happy with your decision are only happy because they despise Jason themselves. May the Lord Himself either confirm or refute what I've suggested to you.

"The lady (or man) doth protest too much, methinks."
*sigh* This is sounding more and more like the account of Job where his friends Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar blathered on and on justifying their false accusations against him. Beware, your accusations against Sirk may sound like godly wisdom, but mixing scripture with personal opinions is not truth. Job's friends brought about God's rebuke of them and Job wound up praying for them that the Lord would have mercy on them.
Did not Sirk admit he was exasperated? Did he not say he went to the Lord about it and did he not say that he is learning to be patient and wait on the Lord? Why are you still blathering with accusations about hatred and despising Jason? Why are you not rejoicing and giving God the glory that even in this adversity the Holy Spirit is able to teach us and make us more into the image of Christ Jesus?
