However, if church policy is a dead letter, and none of this means anything at all, then each is a law unto himself, and everyone can do as they please, without accountability to anyone.
And thus I wonder, what was all the hoopla about Danny Shelton really all about? Who cares how many wives Danny had, whether Danny had grounds to divorce Linda, how many boys Tommy molested, how long Danny covered it all up, how many millions Danny siphoned away from 3ABN, how many whistle blowers Danny fired and sued. No accountability, utter anarchy, don't dare call anyone to account for anything, much less call folks rebels who are encouraging revolt against the highest authority on earth under God.
I don't buy it. God is not the author of confusion. Let all things be done decently and in order. Unless inspiration clearly and unequivocally states something to the contrary, the GC Session votes must be adhered to, and church officers who refuse to do so must be replaced.
