  Can you tell me why the society would ask for this much secrecy over the new elder book? This said:

  Apparently some elders want to have their books spiral bound. The branch has sent out specific instructions that it can be done only by an elder for other elders. A baptized brother can perform the binding work if an elder is watching him. However "outside companies, unbelivers, and sisters are not permitted to perform this work".

  Have you read anything from any of the elder books? Do you know WHY they would want it kept THIS secret?

  To create a sense of being 'special' and 'part of the boys club' so these Brothers will feel and act loyally in their 'privilege'.

  Beyond that it isn't what often is printed in the KS rather it is in the handwritten notes via CO/DO outline.

  I believe it is because it is such a concentration of protocol that is visibly an interpretation of the GB. It doesn't make one have to search for answers, it is there ripe for the pickins....AND, if someone was contemplating a "sin," they could use the book to find loopholes around a JC. Just my 2cents!

  What cracks me up is how they lump "outside companies, unbelievers, and sisters" together. You sisters can't be trusted according to the org. Your baptized husband can perform the work if he is watched by an elder, but not you sis.

  It's a bit strange to me that even the elders in our little group here don't know why it is kept so secretive...

  Did you guys feel like you were part of a "club" by keeping it so secret? Honest question...

  BD..

  Debator/Reniia is not a Jehovah`s Witness..

  No FS,no Ministry School..None of the things any of us would expect,from a fellow JW..

  Debator/Reniaa has publicly admitted to being above WBT$ rules..

  Debator/Reniaa does not and will not,follow the WBT$ Rules that do not suit her..

  If she really wanted to become a Jehovah`s Witness..

  She could start with regular meeting attendance..Just like the rest of us had to do..

  The reason many of Debators/Reniaa`s posts don`t make sense..

  Is because she really has no Idea how Watchtower World Works..So she makes shit up..
