Pay Attention Book, Secret Elders book- God's will?

Aloha,- copy of letter

November 23, 2004
Dear Governing Body of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society,
May I mention a few things to you about the book "Pay Attention to Yourselves and to All the Flock"?
I have been a friend of Jehovah for over 45 years and have studied the Bible and many Watchtower publications over those years. Yet I am firmly convinced from that study , all the meetings, and the assemblies that Jehovah's faithful servant's from the beginning of history until late 1970 were NEVER given secret writings authored to a select few or one. Especially after Jesus brought the good news about God's Kingdom and firmly taught us about how we are all brothers and sisters, so much more emphasizing how wrong it appears to be supplying secret instructions to a small, select group. Not one human was ever given secret writings from Jehovah, not even those one's He personally called His "friends".

Is Jehovah Himself, the most wonderfully powerful Being in the universe, not able to support the Watchtower Society's decision to keep the "Book" secret? In fact is not this "Book" the most easily accessed publication ever printed by the Watchtower Society, as anywhere and anytime it can be reviewed on the internet? It seems obvious to me that Jehovah Himself has accomplished this. Why? That is obvious too. Jehovah is patient, but he does discipline. And this is discipline.

I have read the "Book" and find it's contents instructively beneficial (I am not nor have I ever been an elder). But this "Book" has created a huge problem. Since the books contents and instructions are secret, any deficiency in it's application is only noted by those who possess the "Book". And if these one's happen to be the "wolves" whom Jesus truthfully prophesied about, then the damage that can be done is immeasurable. I know this for a fact from my own personal experience. And I also know too that many countless one's have been fraudulently disfellowshipped, the result being that many have been stumbled, have suffered severe emotional damage, etc., and even committed suicide.

From the World's point of view, can you imagine going into the courtroom on criminal charges to find that only the Judge is entitled access to the laws, the rules of court, the proceedures, the codes, the regulations, the statutes, etc. Any country or government that practiced such a thing could fairly be thought of as corrupt. Can someone as just as Jehovah maintain a different view, especially in light of the great harm and reproach that has resulted from the secret information in this "Book", not that the information is corrupt but that those who use it do not always follow the instructions within carefully. And who's to know any differently other than the elders themselves?

If I know these things, then obviously many others do also. And of course you must have been aware of this problem for some time. There are other problems created by this "Book" aside from the judicial aspects, as again you must be well aware of by now so I won't write you about these.

The weight of this knowledge is especially unpleasant due to the fact that I am disfellowshipped, you view me as nothing, and to date you have completely ignored my many letters and pleas. I continue to wait patiently for the Watchtower Societies anointed one's to humble themselves, and make a much needed correction. We know very soon Good Jehovah and His Son are coming to make an inspection, as this has been prophesied as you have shown us.
Sincerely, William G_____ (mrgalleria)

Here is an excerpt from a letter written to the Kealakekua (Hawaii) Body of Elders on September 26, 2005:

"Without scriptural basis, the secret book "Pay Attention" and Confidential Letters have been distributed to the elders, and these same one's have accepted these in spite of their previous Bible training.

Now the only people who can read these are the elders or those accused of being apostates- an interesting association. How can elders truly be our brothers when they have their own education and information? They are a brotherhood unto themselves- the Brotherhood of Elders. And also there is a third brotherhood- the Brotherhood of the Disobedient Elders- these one's are disobedient to the instructions of the "Pay Attention" book. Many very serious problems are the result of the "Pay Attention" book (see attached letter to the Governing Body). There is no scriptural basis for the production and use of the "Pay Attention" book and secret letters, and it is most likely that their use displeases Jehovah.

2. Return the "Pay Attention" book and the secret letters to the Watchtower Society."

You can easily read the book here-

I find it's content important, especially to those who may go before
a judicial committee.

For example, when I was called to attend a judicial meeting,
I thought they were going to help me with my marital problems.
They did not tell me the purpose of the meeting, which is a violation of the book.
Later, while in abeyance (waiting for your appeal process) they forbid me from talking with anyone in the hall (Joe Moore, Ray Gritness, Fred Clough).
I was in abeyance for 2 1/2 months.

The book does have all kinds of information in one place that every baptized witness definitely needs and is entitled to.

The elders (Wolves) use this information as a point of leverage against the brothers and sisters. I observe them violate the instructions continually, which can only mean that they do not understand the book, or are simply disobedient.
Now if you are disobedient, you will be punished by them. But this book allows them to act above the law. It is a very corrupt circumstance.
So it is very fitting to apply the possession and distribution of this book to an act originating with Satan.

With this book, you can be fraudulently disfellowshipped.
Because everyone assumes that the elders (Wolves) have God's direction, and access to information that we do not. Why would someone commit suicide,
if they were justifiably disfellowshipped?
And not only are the elders (Wolves) not ever held accountable for their acts,
but whatever decision is taken by the elders (Wolves),
the Watchtower Society is compelled to support them.
The result being a very evil process.
I, too, like many here, have suffered immeasurable pain and loss because of acts committed by the elders (Wolves). I, too, came close to, and frequently considered suicide. That is despirit and traumatic. After over 7 years the pain has only subsided slightly.

I have a friend, who is still driven to tears after 30+ years, as a result of being raped in the Kingdom Hall (and the rapist was caught in the act by two elders (Wolves)- who did nothing).

I have confidence that only Jehovah is capable of bringing about the justice that we seek, and only Jehovah can relieve the pain that we suffer. We have Jesus word that both of these things shall certainly occur.
