Hi Andrew
I am not sure if it was in the outline - I suspect not. I cannot imagine that the Society would include in an outline something that could be shown to be just hearsay.
As School Overseer, I would often counsel brothers ans sisters and elders about the need to be accurate and truthful in our recounting of experiences.
It saddens me to think that such an experience (if indeed it is just hearsay - perhaps the brother is 100% on the button!) could be recounted
and digested as fact when it might just be an urban legend (like the one about the householder who chased the Witnesses at his door away and then killed a deliveryman - when asked why he didn't harm the Witnesses said there was a huge man
- supposedly an angel - with them)
