Coredemptrix: apologies from o.m.

[Olga Meerson]

Thank you Philippe, thank you Ralph, Rolph, Will, Dan, and all, especially Vitalii. You have cleared up my mind on some of the relevant matters. I guess the main difference one should keep in mind here is the difference between a testimony and speaking for others. I have attempted the former (a testimony). In testimony, speaking for others, whether with or without authority, is impossible-- a witness is always alone, as his or her choice to testify is always personal. The misunderstanding of this distinction is unfortunate but inevitable for any audiences accustomed to challenging, or establishing, a purely human authority on all matters. In such circumstances, it is just inevitable that anyone testifying about their own faith, even about its objective articles, would sound arrogant and presumptuous. It was really wrong of me to misjudge the audience, assuming that the SEELANGS members would be interested in the difference between testimony and speaking for others. Misjudgin!
 g !
one's audience always causes tensions and misunderstandings. The fault of this wrong judgment is mine, and so should be the apologies. They are, all mine.
