Against the LC Practice of Prophesying

I went to each of them privately to "confess my sin," and they all agreed with me. Then I resigned my services. Today all of these other deacons are gone too.

I thought the saying went, "We don't care for right and wrong -- we only care for life..."? If we only care for life, then why did so many people leave? Too much life?

It's the life life life that makes us want to get-out...

It should be re-phrased like this:

"We don't care for right and wrong--we only care for indifference."

Now that would be spot on, because the elders and coworkers don't want you or I making an issue of persons, matters, or things. Whether right or wrong, the elders and coworkers just want everyone to go on positively.
