Basically, you're argueing in favor of individual
conscience. That's fine and certainly scriptural.
But this erodes the "power structure" that the
GB zealously holds on to. You must understand,
as so many of us do, that these rulers commonly
discuss "letting the brothers" do this or that.
"Letting" or "allowing" is the whole problem.
I really wish your view would prevail, for the
sake of the downtrodden flock, but it's difficult
to see such a principled outcome emanate from
elderly men greedy for control.
