Bizarre for the "regular" saints to be told to avoid their feeling but the ones making the decisions are asked about their feeling constantly.

Amazing how that works, eh?

I have often said that my biggest failure in the LC's was to trust "the brothers" unreservedly.

Supposedly they "cared for our soul," (using Heb 13.17 to their advantage,) actually most elders I knew just did what HQ's told them to do.
