Holy Mother Synod - The Golden Calf

1. "You have criticized the synod."
2. "We will not publish the book until your attitude changes about the synod."
3. "You have shown contempt for synod resolutions."

Number Three is just not so. I tried hard to hide my contempt for synod resolutions.

By studying organizational methods, the synods have devised a clever way for a tiny minority to rule and rake in the loot for themselves. World trips, perks, jobs for useless relatives. Felonious cover-ups of criminal activities for pals. The Left Foot of Fellowship for conservatives. Hoo-rah.

Holy Mother Synod is the golden calf. No, it does not matter which synod. Each synod is. There is a certain amount of posing about each synod being better than all the others combined, but the actual attitude is - "We hate dissent." The synod popes identify with each other, confer with each other, help each other.

By making Holy Mother Synod the object of worship, the apostate leaders have solved all problems. Anyone who disagrees with them is really attacking the synod. Anyone attacking the synod must be dis-membered, in more ways than one. When they are done with the loathsome beast who has disagreed, no one decent will talk to him. The worst accusation is then, "Are you his disciple?"
