But why on earth don't the elders query the change for blood infringements from DF to DA?
Aren't they troubled? Doesn't it seem obvious to elders that this organisation that they loyally serve is using a 'legal' device?
How blinded they are!
How blind we all were!Cheers,

Hey Ozzie,
Aren't they troubled? Doesn't it seem obvious to elders that this organisation that they loyally serve is using a 'legal' device?
A couple of years ago, I asked an elder I knew well about this and other matters that had "wording" changed. Such as, not announcing why a person had been df'd. At the time, I was still active and didn't even know of the term 'disassociation.'
His response? "Because they kept being sued, that's why! Satan is after the Society in any way he can. It's just words - they have to protect themselves."
So....it's ok to change "words" to stay out of court. Such as disfellowshipped to disassociated. "It's just words" - the locals know that no real change has taken place.

G'day waiting,
Nice to hear from ya!
I take your point about the elders believing that Satan's threats are causing the Society to protect themselves. I suppose it's the same type of 'thinking' that caused the WTS to lie to the European Human Rights Commission regarding Bulgaria, isn't it?
"Theocratic warfare" ? No, it's plain old lying.

Howdy COMF,
Wishful thinking on your part - or tired eyes. The above post by Maximus was on July 18.
But the thought was good, I miss him too.
