    I don't understand this move. They get rid of the group study partly because they're losing elders due to burn out, then they are ready to delete elders if they support kids going to college.

    Why would they bother trying to make it esy to retain elders in one move, only to make up an excuse to get rid of them in another? Doesn't make sense.

    Mind you, does anything they do make sense?

    Unity? I guess this is so that those who need proof of something happening will not get said proof.

    Actually, I believe this is the solution. Keep em out of college in order to replenish the lack of brothers available for this or that. Nothing like having a 20-year old spiritually mature elder.

    They are senseless to start with.

    This line of reasoning is the same kind of rhetoric and BS that I used to hear. Sometimes they run around and try to get everybody on the same page when the current Imperial Leader has some kind of epiphany.

    Really though its the same old thinking I heard as a kid except they are just trying to "clarify" some murmings that have come up. Both Grandfathers, Dad, Great Uncle, CO, annointed claimant, MS all in the family. Its very similiar to stuff I heard.

    Although this is specfic its not really new. It gives elders who want to get wound up another reason to whip the crew and they will.
