Dear Readers of Verboten Volumes,
While specific details were not given, it was announced one morning at Bethel [early 1970s] that Brother Newboy was dismissed because of an undue attachment to old teachings. His father had been influencing him from outside; I'm assuming that this was by letters and/or phone conversations. At the time, I had no clue what harm could come from reading older publications. We boys were scratching our collective heads over that one. Such a peculiar announcement is not easily forgotten.
I blame Society officials for the Great Apostasy Scare [GAS] of 1980. They ought to have banned all Bibles.
