Additional Comment:

Under the title “Turning Point” I wrote the following in this book:

“One day in the late autumn of 1987, Olaf Bekkevold and Leif Olstad came to my house to talk about Holland. Their plan was to get me to agree with them and have Sigurd Bratlie remove Litooij. During the conversation, Leif Olstad made strong attacks against preaching that was not sufficiently legalistic. He called the so-called “Norwegian brothers” harlot preachers. This was aimed at David Nielsen, Arild Tombre, and Finn Corneliussen who were all living abroad and working with the gospel.”

I have had conversations with Leif Olstad afterwards, and he asks to be believed that he was not aware of the strategy to remove br. Littooij. It was a little bit difficult for me to understand it that way at the time, precisely because Olaf Bekkevold and Leif Olstad came to me together to talk about this matter. Seeing that Olstad has afterwards clearly expressed that he was not aware of this strategy, I choose to believe him in this matter.

Leif Olstad also affirms that he has always been fond of Littooij and has never wished him anything evil. Olstad says that he has always reckoned that he is in the church and has also been reconciled to me and to the brotherhood. He continues to esteem those who have had the main responsibility in the church, among others Elias Aslaksen, Sigurd Bratlie, and Aksel J. Smith.
