Ever try to get a CO to show you one of those pieces of paper that they read from in an elders-only meeting? I tried to get a look at the paper explaining that if someone accepts blood, he is not D-F'ed, but is "considered to have disassociated himself based on his actions". You'd think I was asking to see the secret code book with the nuclear launch sequences.
Those sick bastards. They have so much to hide and yet pretend to be so upfront with all of it.

Play a little "theocratic warfare strategy" of your own. Refuse to meet with any of them until after your 18th birthday. That way, they'll have to deal with you as an adult.
They would have to have been as stupid as a rock to not be on to you long before this "flock book" incident anyway. Up until then everything you've done and said about them was a nusiance non-issue, but, attack their darling
whorganization, and they become rabid wolves. -

Confession
I'm pretty sure Richie's mom and dad are separated or divorced--and not living in the same household. Correct?
Also, there've been a number of comments made about whether or not the "Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock" book is considered "secret" or not. Maybe some of you didn't have a lot of experience with it, but I always knew there was such a book. I remember seeing it in my dad's briefcase when I was younger. At one time elders were known to bring it out during counseling and judicial committees. But sometime while I was serving ('95 - '98) the Society gave clear instructions that this book should not be in sight while in such a setting. Elders were to consult it together, then put it away before bringing anyone else into the "little room."
Secret? No. But as pressure on them mounts, and authoritarian pride spews, efforts to keep its contents as "privileged information" no doubt increase.

Quotes
Confession said: "Secret? No."
I disagree, friend.
The existence of the book is obscure, in many (non-elder) circles, IMO you are the exception. My mother did not know about this book until I told her about it, and she has been married to my Elder/Father for over 40 years. But the secret is not the existence, it is the CONTENTS.
From the Merriam Webster online dictionary: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/secret:
"revealed only to the initiated : ESOTERIC"
The contents are revealed only to the initiated (i.e. Elders). Therefore the contents are secret. Therefore it is a secret book.
As for the comment that the "had written" notes protects WTS. Yes, IMO that is the game they are playing. However, the Discovery process in USA is pretty broad, and if you could subpoena several books, from several different congregations, in different parts of the country, and they all have the same hand-written notes in them, the thin veneer of protection disappears. One day this will bury WTS.
