Isn't it amazing that the Elders are more loyal to a rubber stamp on a letter from New York or whatever branch, than they are to the people they know and have known for years in their own congregation?
When you think about that, the reason is that they get their power from that rubber stamp. That is what appointed them, and that is what can unappoint them. It is not a matter of being loyal to a God that one knows or the son of God that one knows by name, but an anonymous rubber stamp.
