Hello brother Curtis,

Your web page exposing Nicholas Patula II was just recently brought to my attention and while I am not sure that I agree with what you are doing here about Nicholas, I would like to make a clarification concerning Nic's removal from church membership.

I want it to be clear that it was Eternal Gospel Fellowship that disfellowshipped Nicholas Patula II and not Joel Laswell, as your page seems to infer.

While I believe that the specifics are to stay at the local church level, I do want it to be known that Matthew 18:15-17 was followed to the letter with Nicholas Patula II but he refused to meet with anyone during the reconciliation process. This ultimately led to his removal from church membership.

It is our hope and prayer that Nic will be awakened to his true condition and return to Jesus.

Thank you for the opportunity to make this clarification.

Christian regards,

Joel Laswell
