"
The minister at "my" church has been speaking from the two letters to Timothy. You can't touch this in the LC. Receive not an accusation against an elder except with two or three witnesses. I believe it is well established that an accusation with ten accusers does not fly in the LC. They can smear and get rid of ten as well as one. Any accusation in the LC is divisive and they remove all divisions."
The above quote from Lisbon is from post #99 of the linked thread. Due to the teaching/practices of deputy authority, "
Do not receive an accusation against an elder except on the basis of two or three witnesses. " is deemed invalid. The Deputy Authority practices supersedes scripture. Sooner or later you will be disciplined if you attempt to bring an accusation to an elder or co-worker (the deputy/delegated authority) by that mattter. You learn not to touch the deputy authority no matter how many witnesses. Read the attached pdf from this thread and you will read one such case.
