To All Those With The Elders' Textbook

    I'm not an elder but I do have a photocopy of the book from the net. A number of elders in the congregation say that I should hand it over to them as "I should not have it." The chief reason they give for their request is that the information therein (such as the chapters on judicial cases) is not for my consumption and would not be of any use to me as I'm not an elder in the same way a book on surgical technique would be of little use to me if I wasn't a practicing surgeon.

    The claim is made that those who post confidential "To the Body of Elders" letters on the net are being dishonest - therefore they are not Christians. Nothing I said to them on this matter convinced them otherwise.

    They must be nuts - the "Pay Attention" book is not, and never has been a secret book; thats not to say it isn't a daft book though!!

    Why fight with them? Make another copy for yourself and give the first copy to them. If they're that stupid, just play along.

    You could take transcripts from lots of our threads ,put them in the same format and hand them over instead.

    Would you mind sending me (privately) a link to where you got this? Or hints as to how I might find it?

    Your response can be simple, stevieb: tell them to go take a walk.

    Thanks dung! (I can call you dung, can't I??) :)

    I had thought privately to "prevent" the WTBS trolls from causing havoc on the website hosting it.

    I have been to the site you mentioned, but did not realize that the entire book was there, i will have to dig further.

    Thanks again.
