      "First, since "oneness" is to be observed, a mature Christian must be in unity and full harmony with fellow believers as far as faith and knowledge are concerned. He does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or harbor private ideas when it comes to Bible understanding. Rather, he has complete confidence in the truth as it is revealed by Jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ, and "the faithful and discreet slave." By regularly taking in the spiritual food provided "at the proper time"-through Christian publications, meetings, assemblies, and conventions-we can be sure that we maintain "oneness" with fellow Christians in faith and knowledge.-Matthew 24:45. Watchtower 2001 August 1 p.14

    Aussie, was it the WT just studied? July 15, 2010? Also, this comment was made on this post:

    ELDERS BOOK "PAY ATTENTION TO THE FLOCK". "APOSTASY INCLUDES PEOPLE WHO DELIBERATLY SPREAD, STUBBORNLY HOLD TO AND SPEAK ABOUT TEACHINGS CONTRAY TO BIBLE "AS TAUGHT" by J.W. ARE APOSTATES."

    YAY!

    found it! Thanks guys, you got me going in the right direction...

    it wasn't a WT but A letter to C/Os Sept 1 1980.

    pretty sure it was posted here recently or i wouldnt have found it on my own...

    i was hoping it would be in a publication i could show my son... bit hard to explain how i have a copy of the elders book and a letter to C/Os and D/Os...

    but the other references are pretty good to use too!

    thanks

    ps... if anyone wants to see it i'll try and put the scans i downloaded up.
