Lesson on silence

When I first heard those false accusations of me having no morals and got so stressed and immensely trying to defend myself with no veil due to a simple reason: I have no idea who those people are, and those who did verbally say it in front of me, when I thought of defending myself, those people already left. And my source of stress is not just purely from the anger of being wrongly accused but also that I grew up learning to be pure and just even in thoughts. And also it was so much better if those accussors really went to the Court, for then the evidences that I did not do it would be out. Those threats about submitting their claims to the High Court, I keep on expecting those threats to be true so that my innocence would be proven but it didn't come. And then probably when they realized that I wasn't afraid of being brought up to court, individuals who claimed themselves to be me, including my pen name, came out. Then I got worried over whether the evidences would be 'mishandled', it's been a long time since i used these category of words so I can't really recall what the word is. I was on the verge of calling the authorities myself, when things got so intense with people coming after me, and threats to drag me away to a certain place.

My psychologist whom I was seeking help from because of these issues, and some other old hurts, told me this lesson: when Jesus was being accused He didn't reply those who maligned Him, and also the time when the woman who was found in the act of committing adultery and was brought to Him by the pharisees who were finding fault with Him, for if Jesus agreed with them and said that indeed according to the law of Mosses, she should be stoned, but if Jesus said that, the pharisees would say that He doesn't do what He preaches--to forgive sinners etc.; but if Jesus do not agree with them, He is doing what He preaches but He is accountable to the law (the incident is recorded in John 8:1-11).
I'm still struggling with this and have much more to learn in this lesson of silence. It's a lifelong lesson to work on. And also while yet to keep silence, also know when to stay silence and when to speak out--that's why when the misunderstandings of Him and His Words, I couldn't bear it and spoke out...

The below is a lengthy commentary (?) on His silence during His trial. http://www.safeinthearmsofgod.org/resources/bible-qna/BQ052113/The-Silence-of-Jesus

Oh and on the same website, there's another sermon on false prophets and true prophets  http://www.safeinthearmsofgod.org/resources/sermons/80-409/an-appeal-to-charismatic-pretenders-john-macarthur...

Spent a little longer time typing this 'cos was reading the articles...   (a few minutes after publishing this post: eh, the article on the false prophets and true prophets, the tone is a little harsh which may be offending to some, but rightfully harsh...)

And after reading the second sermon: that's why I study the bible, reading systematic theology besides reading other daily breads, mediate, and pray so often that my prayers at times got disrupted by ppl around me who want to talk to me. And I should have recognized the direction which a particular group had gone, especially after the head of the group said certain things, I should have been alerted to the attitudes...but why is it so easy for that group to go into the various directions while trying to stay on board of the Lord's vessel? O.O
