Those of our brethren who had not obtained an experience for themselves in present truth could not answer the arguments of Brother B, and although they could not receive the views advocated by him, they were more or less affected by his talk and reasoning. Some have felt no spirit of freedom when they met for worship. They were afraid upon the Sabbath to speak out their real feelings and faith, expecting that he would criticize what they would say. There has been death in the meetings and but little freedom. {3T 440.2}

De af vore brødre som ikke selv har fået erfaring i den nærværende sandhed kan ikke besvare bror B's argumenter og selvom de ikke forstår de synspunkter han forsvarer, er de dog mere eller mindre påvirkede af hans tale og slutninger. Nogle har ikke følt sig fri når de kommer for at tilbede Gud. De var bange på sabbaten for at tale om deres virkelige følelser og tro og ventede at han ville kritisere hvad de ville sige. Møderne har været døde og kun givet lidt frihed.
