From ''Church Handbook of Instructions leaked back to 1899''

the whole thing seems so tame. there really was nothing in there that is damning or interesting. it is not surprising that an organization would have instructions for volunteers. and nothing in there ever struck me as outrageous to a believer.

There you go again! You just can't leave it alone, can you? Every single thread here about the CHIs being leaked back to 1899 you have had to comment on. Obsessed much?

"Rocks don't speak for themselves" is an unfortunate phrase to use in defense of a book produced by a rock actually 'speaking' for itself... (I have a Question, 5.15.15)

Dude, what the hell is your problem? Everyone here is free to comment on ANY and EVERY thread they like -- that's the beauty of this place. If you've got an 'axe to grind' with a particular poster, take it somewhere else.

Geesh, I feel stupid. I don't know either one well enough to know. My apologies to all involved.

Sorry, I thought it was obvious based on the other thread. I should have used a smiley, I suppose. :confused:
