I have seen better interactive files, but this is the only one I find this morning:
http://www.bible.cfmin.com/PAYATTENTION.pdf
Give it a little bit to load.
Edited to add: Here's one that's easier to click through:

Thanks... That is the one I've seen as well. I thought there was newer one than that, but I guess I was wrong.
I recently "stepped aside" (or whatever they call it) from bein g a MS and am wondering what the official announcement from the stage will sound like. I think they only say "deleted" for elders stepping down... If I recall, they made the announcement once that "So and So is no longer a Ministerial Servant." I just wanted to see if they have info on that in the elders book.

I was just browsing through and this sentence stood out to me as being completely halarious!!
"A brother would be disqualified as an elder, a ministerial servant, or a pioneer if he took up the study of such martial arts and practiced them."
Why did I go through the hassle of coming up for a reason to step aside when I could have just said that I was opening a karate dojo and I would have been removed immediately.. lol.

Serenity... the martial arts are considered satanic in origin; just the same as practicing withcraft or spiritism... you 'meditate' as part of the martial arts practive and that, of course, puts you under the influence of 'demons' etc etc...
