re phone number of wycliffe translators uk i m concerned about a recent posting about wbt sil i thought they d pretty much been denounced as a right wing organization involved in ideological manipulation and cultural interference including vietnam and south america a commission from mexican academia denounced them in as a covert political and ideological institution used by the u s govt as an instrument of control regulation penetration espionage and repression my concern is that this group may be seen as acceptable and even praiseworthy by readers of soc religion christian it s important that christians don t immediately accept every christian organization as automatically above reproach mp good heavens you mean my good friend wes collins who took his wife and two small children into the jungles of guatemala despite dangers from primitive conditions and armed guerillas so that the indigenous people groups their could have the bible in their native languages the young man who led bible studies in our church who daily demonstrated and declared his deep abiding faith in the lord of love you mean he really was a sneaky imperialistic spy whose real reason for going was to exploit and oppress the ignorant and unsuspecting masses imagine my surprise i never would have thought it of him how was this terrible deceit discovered what exactly was the cultural interference they were caught committing attempting to persuade the locals that their ancestral gods were false gods and their sacrifices including human sacrifices in some cases were vain destroying traditional lifestyles by introducing steel tools medical vaccines and durable clothes oh and by the way who did the denouncing i am terribly shocked to hear that my friend wes who seemed so nice was really such a deceitful tool of the devil please provide me with specific documentation on this charge there is some risk that i may not believe it otherwise mark
