Pirata, I agree with you and base my opinion on what was mentioned in COC as to the major decision making by the GB:
Some falling asleep DURING voting, some voting, and just one of the following examples:
from page 141 Crisis of Conscience Fourth addition revised and updated:
"Because of the power of control the organization exercises over its members through its decisions, and because of the enormous effect that these can have on people's lives it seems proper here to review what I consider one the greatest examples of inconsistency experienced in my nine years on that Body. It still seems difficult to believe that men who voiced such strong concern for "an uncompromising stand," could simultaneously gloss over a circumstance that can only be described as shocking. You may judge the appropriateness of that term by what follows."
If you have the book you can read Chapter 6....DOUBLE STANDARDS.
It's absolutely understandable this book is labeled "apostate". In reality its not. That label apostate is given as a scare tactic to avoid any current members getting insight into exactly what happens. There are no accusations, just descriptions of inner workings that no one has ever had privy to....
Kind of like the Kremlin? Catholic church hierarchy, congress, senate, heck even Goldman Sachs!!!!!
