So this is it. OSA can put anything out it likes on the net, but because Vera has defined the term "official publications" to mean "what are PRINTED and distributed and issued from the church," that makes the utterances of Andy Milne, which are only distributed and issued from the church, but not PRINTED, unofficial. After you've hung around a.r.s., you soon get a nose for the way these guys work. Acceptable truth is the name of the game. Let's make a FAQ on the acceptable truth. We've got enough examples from the OSA posters to make quite a respectable document by now. Volunteers?
