As I had told that by chance uncle Hoa and uncle Châu met together
at my home, in a very short time.
On hearing this meeting, my sister asked me: “How
about their attitude together?”
My reply: “Just
asking about their health as a friend only”.
It was the lunch time. I tried to invite uncle Châu have the meal
with us, but he denied !... (sitting at the same table waiting for
the computer repaired, while uncle Hoa gave thanks for meal, and we
had lumch).
We all felt compassion on his plight “Fish
pots bird cage”.
It Reminded me the time in the past uncle Lyle was angry with uncle
Châu, when he asked uncle Châu to visit friends at the field he
appointed. However uncle Châu went to visit another place, with some
friends (May be uncle Châu felt that place was nesessary for his
visiting other than the field was appointed.)
Being afraid of the rule of the Overseer, now uncle Châu had to obey
completely all their demands.
In the past our workers had freedom to go anywhere under the Spirit
of God leading, by the urge in their heart.
Now Uncle Hoa has the same feeling and freedom to go anywhere God
put the impulse in his heart to visit.
Of course uncle Châu wants to visit many friends and places as
uncle Hoa, but imposible for him. While he still puts his life
under the control of Overseers.
We have a discussion with our brother about the situation now.
“If all the Canadian workers go back to their country, would we
return to the fellowship with 2x2”.
It is really hard for us to answer this question from a godly
brother.
My husband answer was: “We
all love the friends and workers, we love their souls. Now we know
the truth, we do not accept the religion of overseers any more. We
desire God rules and leads our lives not overseers do. ”.
I feel the pressure of money upon the workers in Vietnam nowadays.
My country is among the poorest countries in the world.
Just a small country with a huge amount of young workers.(including
workers abroad).
In the past I heard that workers went out to the fields leaving
anything behind, trusting in God support and His care, willing to go
anywhere God move their heart.
The fact is not true now . Workers are under the care and control of
overseer. Overseer is the only one who send money and instructions
of what they had to do & obey… I can see clearly in a nutshell “Obey
with fear !!!”.
They had to stay at the places they were appointed. (As uncle Hoa
told us, He felt wasting of his time for spending almost the time at
the batch, and waiting for preaching two days in a week, Sunday and
Wednesday).
It is hard for the Vietnamese workers now following Jesus as written
in the Bible.
My daughter said: Difficult for them to continue the work without
the supply of oversser. It
seems that they need a job as many other jobs in life. Working for
and completely obeying those who pay money for them. If not they
will lose their jobs !!!. (Of
course with such thinking of my daughter who was immediately
received the admonish from our godly brother, although it is very
real happening in my country!!!).
