00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:11.919
without<00:00:09.300><c> the</c><00:00:09.679><c> intervention</c><00:00:10.000><c> of</c><00:00:10.179><c> a</c><00:00:10.300><c> presider,</c><00:00:11.460><c> move</c><00:00:11.720><c> through</c>

00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:15.000
these<00:00:12.160><c> questions</c><00:00:12.679><c> from</c><00:00:13.039><c> one</c><00:00:13.599><c> to</c><00:00:13.900><c> the</c><00:00:14.039><c> next.</c>

Brother<00:00:15.199><c> Tennant.</c>

00:00:16.920 --> 00:00:20.500
Well,<00:00:17.059><c> brethren,</c><00:00:17.399><c> I</c><00:00:17.539><c> had</c><00:00:17.940><c> six</c><00:00:18.500><c> questions</c><00:00:19.100><c> initially.</c>

00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:23.059
I<00:00:21.719><c> go</c><00:00:21.920><c> through</c><00:00:22.140><c> them.</c>

00:00:23.219 --> 00:00:26.239
There<00:00:23.379><c> is</c><00:00:23.500><c> no</c><00:00:23.699><c> way</c><00:00:23.940><c> in</c><00:00:24.019><c> which</c><00:00:24.160><c> I</c><00:00:24.280><c> can</c><00:00:24.440><c> be</c><00:00:24.760><c> exhaustive</c><00:00:25.359><c> about</c><00:00:25.620><c> them,</c><00:00:25.960><c> but</c><00:00:26.120><c> I</c>

00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:27.820
give<00:00:26.339><c> you</c><00:00:26.940><c> what</c><00:00:27.059><c> I</c><00:00:27.280><c> think</c><00:00:27.440><c> is</c>

00:00:27.820 --> 00:00:29.679
the<00:00:28.420><c> nub</c><00:00:28.859><c> of</c><00:00:29.059><c> the</c><00:00:29.199><c> answer.</c>

00:00:30.140 --> 00:00:33.740
You<00:00:30.160><c> may</c><00:00:30.359><c> think</c><00:00:30.559><c> otherwise,</c><00:00:31.039><c> and</c><00:00:31.160><c> it</c><00:00:31.260><c> may</c><00:00:31.379><c> be</c><00:00:31.600><c> that</c><00:00:32.380><c> occasionally</c><00:00:32.899><c> I</c><00:00:33.039><c> don't</c>

00:00:33.740 --> 00:00:35.700
grasp<00:00:34.179><c> the</c><00:00:34.479><c> whole</c><00:00:34.600><c> of</c><00:00:34.719><c> what</c><00:00:34.840><c> the</c><00:00:35.000><c> question</c><00:00:35.219><c> is</c><00:00:35.420><c> about</c>

00:00:35.700 --> 00:00:39.939
because<00:00:36.179><c> I</c><00:00:37.079><c> didn't</c><00:00:37.340><c> grasp</c><00:00:37.700><c> it,</c><00:00:37.899><c> in</c><00:00:38.020><c> which</c><00:00:38.259><c> case</c><00:00:38.939><c> there</c><00:00:39.740><c> will</c>

00:00:39.939 --> 00:00:42.960
be<00:00:40.100><c> further</c><00:00:40.280><c> discussion</c><00:00:41.679><c> privately</c><00:00:42.340><c> afterwards.</c>

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:44.340
Question<00:00:43.539><c> one,</c><00:00:44.060><c> then.</c>

00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:49.740
In<00:00:44.759><c> this</c><00:00:45.119><c> era</c><00:00:45.600><c> of</c><00:00:46.119><c> what</c><00:00:46.259><c> is</c><00:00:46.560><c> called</c><00:00:46.960><c> date</c><00:00:47.579><c> rape,</c><00:00:49.200><c> do</c><00:00:49.380><c> we</c><00:00:49.560><c> teach</c>

00:00:54.140 --> 00:00:55.740
Then<00:00:54.359><c> there's</c><00:00:54.640><c> a</c><00:00:54.780><c> note.</c>

00:00:55.759 --> 00:00:58.759
Date<00:00:56.200><c> rape</c><00:00:56.439><c> is</c><00:00:56.700><c> a</c><00:00:56.859><c> term</c><00:00:57.039><c> used</c><00:00:57.320><c> to</c><00:00:57.560><c> describe</c><00:00:57.799><c> a</c><00:00:57.979><c> situation</c><00:00:58.359><c> in</c><00:00:58.439><c> which</c><00:00:58.659><c> a</c>

00:00:58.759 --> 00:01:00.780
young<00:00:58.920><c> man</c><00:00:59.159><c> forces</c><00:00:59.479><c> himself</c><00:00:59.880><c> upon</c><00:01:00.079><c> a</c><00:01:00.299><c> young</c><00:01:00.439><c> woman</c>

00:01:00.780 --> 00:01:04.799
in<00:01:01.500><c> the</c><00:01:01.719><c> context</c><00:01:01.979><c> of</c><00:01:02.159><c> a</c><00:01:02.320><c> date,</c><00:01:02.880><c> a</c><00:01:03.020><c> context</c><00:01:03.320><c> that</c><00:01:03.500><c> the</c><00:01:03.659><c> law</c><00:01:03.840><c> finds</c><00:01:04.200><c> difficult</c><00:01:04.599><c> to</c>

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:09.959
The<00:01:07.280><c> protests</c><00:01:07.579><c> of</c><00:01:07.760><c> the</c><00:01:07.900><c> young</c><00:01:08.040><c> woman</c><00:01:08.480><c> are</c><00:01:09.239><c> thought</c><00:01:09.319><c> to</c><00:01:09.480><c> be</c><00:01:09.599><c> capable</c><00:01:09.780><c> of</c>

00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:13.219
being<00:01:10.200><c> misconstrued</c><00:01:11.120><c> as</c><00:01:11.400><c> a</c><00:01:11.620><c> pro</c><00:01:11.939><c> forma</c><00:01:12.159><c> resistance</c>

00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:16.579
that<00:01:13.819><c> is</c><00:01:14.000><c> not</c><00:01:14.239><c> really</c><00:01:14.480><c> meant</c><00:01:14.719><c> to</c><00:01:14.900><c> be</c><00:01:15.079><c> taken</c><00:01:15.299><c> as</c><00:01:15.680><c> genuine.</c>

00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:19.819
Well,<00:01:18.159><c> this</c><00:01:18.280><c> is</c><00:01:18.379><c> what</c><00:01:18.439><c> lies</c><00:01:18.680><c> behind</c><00:01:19.000><c> all</c><00:01:19.219><c> rape,</c><00:01:19.439><c> of</c><00:01:19.620><c> course,</c>

00:01:19.859 --> 00:01:22.939
and<00:01:19.980><c> that</c><00:01:20.120><c> is</c><00:01:20.359><c> to</c><00:01:21.379><c> what</c><00:01:21.519><c> extent</c><00:01:21.920><c> there</c><00:01:22.099><c> is</c><00:01:22.359><c> consent</c>

00:01:32.120 --> 00:01:34.840
However,<00:01:32.879><c> what</c><00:01:33.019><c> I</c><00:01:33.140><c> would</c><00:01:33.280><c> take</c><00:01:33.420><c> here</c><00:01:33.760><c> is,</c><00:01:34.200><c> first</c><00:01:34.280><c> of</c><00:01:34.400><c> all,</c><00:01:34.659><c> a</c>

00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:35.920
general<00:01:35.420><c> line.</c>

00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:38.739
There<00:01:36.200><c> is</c><00:01:36.340><c> no</c><00:01:36.540><c> way</c><00:01:36.680><c> in</c><00:01:36.760><c> which</c><00:01:36.859><c> we</c><00:01:36.939><c> can</c><00:01:37.099><c> be</c><00:01:37.400><c> violent,</c><00:01:38.560><c> whether</c>

00:01:38.739 --> 00:01:41.019

00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:46.140
and<00:01:42.980><c> therefore</c><00:01:43.459><c> protecting</c><00:01:43.920><c> our</c><00:01:44.299><c> person</c><00:01:44.859><c> is</c><00:01:45.540><c> not</c><00:01:45.760><c> something</c>

00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:48.540
that<00:01:46.620><c> we</c><00:01:46.819><c> are</c><00:01:47.079><c> entitled</c><00:01:47.340><c> to</c><00:01:47.579><c> protect</c><00:01:47.819><c> by</c><00:01:48.140><c> violence.</c>

00:01:48.540 --> 00:01:52.099
Virginity<00:01:49.060><c> happens</c><00:01:49.280><c> to</c><00:01:49.420><c> be</c><00:01:49.519><c> one</c><00:01:49.719><c> aspect</c><00:01:50.280><c> of</c><00:01:50.599><c> being</c><00:01:50.840><c> a</c><00:01:51.060><c> person.</c>

00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.280
But<00:01:53.579><c> what</c><00:01:53.739><c> we</c><00:01:53.980><c> try</c><00:01:54.180><c> to</c><00:01:54.400><c> do</c><00:01:54.620><c> is</c><00:01:54.840><c> to</c><00:01:55.000><c> steer</c><00:01:55.140><c> clear</c><00:01:55.519><c> of</c><00:01:55.760><c> situations</c>

00:01:56.280 --> 00:01:58.920
where<00:01:56.799><c> evil</c><00:01:57.159><c> is</c><00:01:57.500><c> likely</c><00:01:57.680><c> to</c><00:01:57.959><c> arise.</c>

00:01:59.700 --> 00:02:03.659
Now,<00:01:59.780><c> what</c><00:01:59.900><c> I</c><00:02:00.040><c> would</c><00:02:00.200><c> say</c><00:02:00.459><c> is,</c><00:02:00.980><c> if</c><00:02:01.040><c> there</c><00:02:01.239><c> is</c><00:02:01.420><c> any</c><00:02:01.959><c> dating</c><00:02:02.480><c> outside</c><00:02:03.280><c> the</c>

00:02:05.340 --> 00:02:08.479
then<00:02:05.579><c> this</c><00:02:05.920><c> is</c><00:02:06.180><c> a</c><00:02:06.420><c> risk</c><00:02:06.819><c> that</c><00:02:07.219><c> is</c><00:02:07.599><c> likely</c><00:02:07.799><c> to</c><00:02:08.099><c> arise.</c>

00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.020
This<00:02:09.000><c> and</c><00:02:09.479><c> AIDS</c><00:02:09.960><c> are</c><00:02:11.400><c> risks</c><00:02:11.860><c> which</c><00:02:12.180><c> are</c><00:02:12.500><c> likely</c><00:02:12.719><c> to</c><00:02:13.020><c> arise.</c>

00:02:14.180 --> 00:02:17.599
Therefore,<00:02:14.740><c> with</c><00:02:15.060><c> our</c><00:02:15.379><c> children,</c><00:02:15.879><c> our</c><00:02:16.080><c> young</c><00:02:16.360><c> people,</c><00:02:17.319><c> we've</c>

00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:20.219
got<00:02:17.759><c> to</c><00:02:18.060><c> tell</c><00:02:18.259><c> them</c><00:02:18.439><c> that</c><00:02:18.639><c> that</c><00:02:18.860><c> kind</c><00:02:19.280><c> of</c><00:02:19.919><c> dating</c>

00:02:26.620 --> 00:02:30.539
And<00:02:26.819><c> if</c><00:02:27.060><c> therefore</c><00:02:27.319><c> somebody</c><00:02:27.699><c> forces</c><00:02:29.080><c> themselves</c><00:02:29.939><c> on</c><00:02:30.439><c> a</c>

where<00:12:03.519><c> in</c><00:12:03.600><c> fact</c><00:12:03.899><c> the</c><00:12:04.120><c> sister</c><00:12:04.559><c> was</c><00:12:05.039><c> not</c><00:12:05.679><c> opposed</c><00:12:06.080><c> at</c><00:12:06.399><c> all.</c>

00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.659
It<00:12:07.460><c> was</c><00:12:07.620><c> just</c><00:12:07.820><c> that</c><00:12:07.960><c> her</c><00:12:08.080><c> husband</c><00:12:08.259><c> was</c><00:12:08.539><c> so</c><00:12:08.840><c> dominating,</c><00:12:09.440><c> domineering,</c>

00:12:10.659 --> 00:12:13.279
that's<00:12:10.980><c> to</c><00:12:11.100><c> make</c><00:12:11.200><c> it</c><00:12:11.340><c> really</c><00:12:11.500><c> difficult</c><00:12:11.820><c> for</c><00:12:12.000><c> her</c><00:12:12.399><c> to</c><00:12:12.679><c> have</c><00:12:12.820><c> a</c><00:12:12.980><c> voice.</c>

00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:15.899
But<00:12:13.759><c> somebody</c><00:12:14.000><c> became</c><00:12:14.320><c> aware</c><00:12:14.639><c> of</c><00:12:14.840><c> it.</c>

00:12:15.919 --> 00:12:19.279
So<00:12:16.220><c> never</c><00:12:16.559><c> assume</c><00:12:17.039><c> that</c><00:12:17.220><c> the</c><00:12:17.340><c> two</c><00:12:17.460><c> are</c><00:12:18.200><c> alike.</c>

00:12:19.500 --> 00:12:23.559
There<00:12:19.679><c> is</c><00:12:19.899><c> usually</c><00:12:20.159><c> some</c><00:12:20.360><c> little</c><00:12:20.600><c> chink</c><00:12:21.519><c> to</c><00:12:21.740><c> which</c><00:12:21.899><c> an</c><00:12:22.139><c> approach</c><00:12:22.320><c> can</c><00:12:22.519><c> be</c><00:12:22.700><c> made.</c>

00:12:24.860 --> 00:12:27.480
What<00:12:25.139><c> action</c><00:12:25.600><c> should</c><00:12:25.779><c> be</c><00:12:26.000><c> taken</c><00:12:26.220><c> if</c><00:12:26.399><c> a</c><00:12:26.559><c> brother</c><00:12:26.740><c> or</c><00:12:26.919><c> sister</c>

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:31.279
threatens<00:12:28.179><c> to</c><00:12:29.159><c> disrupt</c><00:12:29.559><c> the</c><00:12:29.919><c> memorial</c><00:12:30.299><c> service?</c>

00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:36.120
I've<00:12:34.600><c> only</c><00:12:34.679><c> ever</c><00:12:34.980><c> been</c><00:12:35.240><c> once</c><00:12:35.519><c> at</c><00:12:35.679><c> a</c><00:12:35.799><c> meeting</c>

00:12:36.120 --> 00:12:40.799
where<00:12:37.000><c> a</c><00:12:37.639><c> memorial</c><00:12:37.899><c> meeting</c><00:12:38.320><c> was</c><00:12:39.639><c> disrupted.</c>

00:12:41.899 --> 00:12:46.000
And<00:12:42.779><c> that</c><00:12:43.139><c> was</c><00:12:43.340><c> in</c><00:12:43.500><c> extraordinary</c><00:12:44.679><c> circumstances.</c>

00:12:46.960 --> 00:12:51.580
It<00:12:47.159><c> was</c><00:12:47.360><c> by</c><00:12:47.620><c> the</c><00:12:47.779><c> meekest,</c><00:12:49.179><c> mildest,</c><00:12:50.220><c> and</c><00:12:50.360><c> most</c><00:12:50.759><c> silent</c><00:12:51.120><c> member</c><00:12:51.399><c> of</c>

00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:52.799
the<00:12:51.720><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:12:54.799 --> 00:13:00.139
who<00:12:55.679><c> got</c><00:12:56.559><c> up</c><00:12:57.159><c> during</c><00:12:57.500><c> the</c><00:12:57.700><c> exaltation</c><00:12:58.559><c> and</c><00:12:59.179><c> said,</c>

00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:06.539
Brother,<00:13:03.620><c> don't</c><00:13:03.860><c> you</c><00:13:04.080><c> think</c><00:13:04.279><c> it's</c><00:13:04.480><c> time</c><00:13:04.740><c> you</c><00:13:04.919><c> sat</c><00:13:05.159><c> down?</c>

00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:15.879
So<00:13:14.019><c> that's</c><00:13:14.419><c> the</c><00:13:14.580><c> only</c><00:13:14.720><c> situation</c><00:13:15.259><c> that</c><00:13:15.500><c> I've</c><00:13:15.659><c> been</c><00:13:15.799><c> in,</c>

00:13:15.940 --> 00:13:17.840
but<00:13:16.039><c> this</c><00:13:16.259><c> obviously</c><00:13:16.559><c> means</c><00:13:17.039><c> that</c><00:13:17.279><c> something</c><00:13:17.440><c> is</c><00:13:17.580><c> going</c><00:13:17.720><c> to</c>

00:13:17.840 --> 00:13:19.019
be<00:13:18.000><c> awkward.</c>

00:13:19.820 --> 00:13:22.919
Now<00:13:20.000><c> there</c><00:13:20.059><c> is</c><00:13:20.299><c> no</c><00:13:20.620><c> way</c><00:13:21.159><c> in</c><00:13:21.600><c> which</c><00:13:21.740><c> we</c><00:13:21.840><c> can</c><00:13:22.000><c> have</c><00:13:22.279><c> bouncers</c><00:13:22.720><c> at</c>

00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:26.279
either<00:13:24.620><c> to</c><00:13:24.799><c> keep</c><00:13:24.879><c> people</c><00:13:25.139><c> in</c><00:13:25.299><c> or</c><00:13:25.419><c> to</c><00:13:25.539><c> get</c><00:13:25.639><c> them</c><00:13:25.820><c> out,</c><00:13:26.039><c> is</c><00:13:26.159><c> there?</c>

00:13:26.320 --> 00:13:28.000
No<00:13:26.580><c> way</c><00:13:26.799><c> at</c><00:13:27.019><c> all.</c>

00:13:28.299 --> 00:13:30.039
And<00:13:28.740><c> we</c><00:13:28.840><c> don't</c><00:13:29.059><c> run</c><00:13:29.259><c> on</c><00:13:29.480><c> that</c><00:13:29.679><c> basis.</c>

00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:32.139
I<00:13:30.360><c> mean,</c><00:13:30.440><c> if</c><00:13:30.559><c> anybody</c><00:13:30.740><c> wanted</c><00:13:30.980><c> to</c><00:13:31.220><c> disrupt</c><00:13:31.440><c> this</c><00:13:31.679><c> meeting</c><00:13:31.919><c> now,</c>

00:13:32.139 --> 00:13:33.000
they<00:13:32.279><c> could</c><00:13:32.460><c> disrupt</c><00:13:32.860><c> it.</c>

00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:34.919
We<00:13:33.120><c> work</c><00:13:33.279><c> on</c><00:13:33.500><c> a</c><00:13:33.539><c> voluntary</c><00:13:33.919><c> basis.</c>

00:13:34.940 --> 00:13:36.919
Came<00:13:35.100><c> and</c><00:13:35.279><c> knocked</c><00:13:35.440><c> all</c><00:13:35.679><c> the</c><00:13:36.080><c> microphones</c><00:13:36.480><c> down</c>

00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:39.120
or<00:13:37.399><c> decided</c><00:13:37.860><c> they</c><00:13:38.000><c> were</c><00:13:38.100><c> going</c><00:13:38.220><c> to</c><00:13:38.419><c> sing</c><00:13:38.539><c> in</c><00:13:38.720><c> the</c><00:13:38.919><c> corner.</c>

00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:41.139
We<00:13:39.279><c> could</c><00:13:39.460><c> do</c><00:13:39.639><c> nothing</c><00:13:39.840><c> about</c><00:13:40.120><c> it.</c>

00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:42.500
Because<00:13:41.720><c> we</c><00:13:41.960><c> work</c><00:13:42.139><c> on</c><00:13:42.340><c> that.</c>

00:13:42.580 --> 00:13:45.840
If<00:13:42.700><c> anybody</c><00:13:42.980><c> wants</c><00:13:43.320><c> to</c><00:13:43.559><c> disrupt</c><00:13:43.759><c> our</c><00:13:44.039><c> memorial</c><00:13:44.379><c> service,</c><00:13:45.500><c> they</c><00:13:45.679><c> can</c>

00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.480
do<00:13:45.980><c> it.</c>

00:13:46.899 --> 00:13:49.639
We<00:13:47.120><c> know</c><00:13:47.399><c> that</c><00:13:47.899><c> they</c><00:13:48.379><c> practically</c><00:13:48.840><c> can</c><00:13:49.080><c> do</c><00:13:49.220><c> it.</c>

00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:52.960
So<00:13:50.000><c> we've</c><00:13:50.200><c> got</c><00:13:50.279><c> to</c><00:13:50.419><c> take</c><00:13:50.500><c> other</c><00:13:50.799><c> steps</c><00:13:51.139><c> then</c><00:13:51.559><c> to</c><00:13:51.899><c> seek</c><00:13:52.039><c> to</c><00:13:52.279><c> prevent</c><00:13:52.519><c> it.</c>

00:13:53.440 --> 00:13:55.960
If<00:13:53.740><c> we</c><00:13:54.019><c> became</c><00:13:54.240><c> aware</c><00:13:54.620><c> of</c><00:13:54.799><c> it,</c>

00:13:56.419 --> 00:13:58.259

00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:08.279
They<00:14:06.860><c> must</c><00:14:07.120><c> have</c><00:14:07.399><c> some</c><00:14:07.759><c> grievance.</c>

00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:09.899
I<00:14:08.519><c> mean,</c><00:14:08.720><c> they</c><00:14:08.840><c> may</c><00:14:08.960><c> be</c><00:14:09.139><c> mentally</c><00:14:09.460><c> disturbed.</c>

00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:11.299
That's<00:14:10.139><c> a</c><00:14:10.259><c> different</c><00:14:10.379><c> matter.</c>

00:14:11.840 --> 00:14:13.299

then<00:14:13.720><c> some</c><00:14:13.960><c> effort</c><00:14:14.179><c> must</c><00:14:14.360><c> be</c><00:14:14.580><c> made</c><00:14:14.799><c> early</c><00:14:15.279><c> to</c><00:14:15.639><c> try</c><00:14:15.759><c> to</c><00:14:15.980><c> solve</c><00:14:16.159><c> it.</c>

00:20:36.339 --> 00:20:39.000
Now<00:20:36.819><c> what</c><00:20:36.940><c> we</c><00:20:37.099><c> have</c><00:20:37.319><c> to</c><00:20:37.500><c> do,</c><00:20:37.680><c> and</c><00:20:37.839><c> it's</c><00:20:38.200><c> incumbent</c><00:20:38.559><c> upon</c><00:20:38.819><c> us,</c>

00:20:59.240 --> 00:21:01.319
So<00:20:59.400><c> it</c><00:20:59.440><c> has</c><00:20:59.640><c> to</c><00:20:59.779><c> be</c><00:20:59.940><c> done.</c><00:21:00.460><c> We</c><00:21:00.619><c> have</c><00:21:00.779><c> no</c><00:21:00.960><c> option.</c>

00:21:04.500 --> 00:21:07.700
We<00:21:04.619><c> may</c><00:21:04.859><c> think</c><00:21:05.359><c> that</c><00:21:05.680><c> by</c><00:21:05.859><c> being</c><00:21:06.599><c> milder,</c><00:21:07.220><c> we're</c><00:21:07.400><c> doing</c><00:21:07.519><c> the</c>

00:21:08.160 --> 00:21:09.660
We<00:21:08.319><c> are</c><00:21:08.579><c> not</c><00:21:08.740><c> doing</c><00:21:08.920><c> the</c><00:21:09.119><c> right</c><00:21:09.339><c> thing.</c>

00:21:09.819 --> 00:21:13.859
We<00:21:10.000><c> are</c><00:21:10.240><c> in</c><00:21:10.380><c> fact</c><00:21:10.779><c> now</c><00:21:11.480><c> endangering</c><00:21:12.200><c> the</c><00:21:12.420><c> rest</c><00:21:12.619><c> of</c><00:21:12.839><c> our</c><00:21:13.000><c> occasion</c>

00:21:18.259 --> 00:21:23.380
Now<00:21:18.500><c> what</c><00:21:18.660><c> this</c><00:21:18.920><c> says</c><00:21:19.180><c> is,</c><00:21:20.319><c> how</c><00:21:20.539><c> do</c><00:21:20.740><c> we</c><00:21:20.920><c> arrive</c><00:21:21.539><c> at</c><00:21:22.819><c> determining</c>

My<00:21:35.240><c> usual</c><00:21:36.680><c> criterion</c><00:21:37.359><c> for</c><00:21:37.660><c> this</c><00:21:38.259><c> is</c>

00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:57.559
That's<00:21:56.400><c> the</c><00:21:56.539><c> question.</c>

00:21:58.339 --> 00:22:00.539
And<00:21:58.480><c> then</c><00:21:58.740><c> when</c><00:21:58.940><c> that</c><00:21:59.180><c> is</c><00:21:59.420><c> so,</c>

We<00:25:02.740><c> ought</c><00:25:02.920><c> to</c><00:25:03.059><c> have</c><00:25:03.259><c> language</c><00:25:03.619><c> that</c><00:25:03.799><c> is</c><00:25:04.019><c> clear</c><00:25:04.400><c> and</c><00:25:04.799><c> simple</c>

00:25:05.079 --> 00:25:09.779
so<00:25:05.279><c> that</c><00:25:05.500><c> the</c><00:25:05.940><c> visitor</c><00:25:06.220><c> who</c><00:25:06.400><c> comes</c><00:25:06.579><c> in</c><00:25:06.799><c> says,</c><00:25:07.779><c> I</c><00:25:07.960><c> understood</c><00:25:08.500><c> a</c>

00:25:09.779 --> 00:25:10.900

00:25:11.279 --> 00:25:13.400
There<00:25:11.400><c> are</c><00:25:11.500><c> things</c><00:25:11.640><c> I</c><00:25:11.779><c> didn't</c><00:25:12.039><c> understand,</c><00:25:12.480><c> but</c><00:25:12.640><c> I</c><00:25:12.779><c> want</c><00:25:12.980><c> to</c>

00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.319
Now<00:25:17.319><c> that's</c><00:25:17.400><c> what</c><00:25:17.460><c> we</c><00:25:17.599><c> should</c><00:25:17.720><c> do</c><00:25:17.940><c> in</c><00:25:18.619><c> our</c><00:25:18.759><c> evening</c><00:25:19.000><c> addresses.</c>

Our<00:25:19.619><c> Bible</c><00:25:20.039><c> class</c><00:25:20.460><c> is</c><00:25:20.880><c> a</c><00:25:21.000><c> variety</c><00:25:21.500><c> of</c><00:25:21.779><c> things.</c>

00:25:22.779 --> 00:25:25.819
It's<00:25:23.039><c> a</c><00:25:23.079><c> means</c><00:25:23.259><c> by</c><00:25:23.519><c> which</c><00:25:23.700><c> we</c><00:25:24.180><c> reinforce</c><00:25:24.839><c> our</c><00:25:25.240><c> understanding</c>

We<00:25:29.279><c> do</c><00:25:29.539><c> that.</c>

00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:32.819
Whereby<00:25:30.640><c> we</c><00:25:30.819><c> increase</c><00:25:31.299><c> our</c><00:25:31.700><c> breadth</c><00:25:32.039><c> of</c><00:25:32.299><c> knowledge</c><00:25:32.519><c> of</c><00:25:32.700><c> the</c>

00:25:42.759 --> 00:25:45.200

Take<00:27:38.799><c> heed</c><00:27:39.059><c> therefore</c><00:27:39.559><c> unto</c><00:27:39.839><c> yourselves,</c><00:27:41.099><c> and</c><00:27:41.220><c> to</c><00:27:41.460><c> all</c><00:27:41.819><c> the</c>

00:27:47.500 --> 00:27:51.319
So<00:27:47.799><c> these</c><00:27:48.180><c> elders</c><00:27:48.559><c> are</c><00:27:48.779><c> now</c><00:27:49.039><c> called</c><00:27:49.480><c> overseers.</c>

00:27:51.619 --> 00:27:53.279
So<00:27:51.779><c> we've</c><00:27:51.880><c> got</c><00:27:52.000><c> another</c><00:27:52.259><c> definition.</c>

00:27:53.619 --> 00:27:56.900
But<00:27:54.220><c> the</c><00:27:54.380><c> word</c><00:27:54.680><c> overseer</c><00:27:55.279><c> means</c><00:27:55.619><c> bishop.</c>

00:27:57.940 --> 00:28:00.319
The<00:27:58.039><c> Greek</c><00:27:58.200><c> would</c><00:27:58.740><c> be</c><00:27:58.960><c> biscapoi.</c>

00:28:02.200 --> 00:28:06.799

00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:14.720
I<00:28:08.660><c> suppose</c><00:28:08.940><c> that's</c><00:28:09.240><c> why</c><00:28:09.920><c> bishops</c><00:28:10.440><c> in</c><00:28:10.940><c> churches</c><00:28:11.660><c> have</c><00:28:12.880><c> their</c><00:28:13.200><c> crook,</c><00:28:13.779><c> which</c><00:28:13.960><c> is</c><00:28:14.180><c> shaped</c><00:28:14.319><c> like</c><00:28:14.579><c> a</c>

shepherd's<00:28:15.180><c> crook.</c>

00:28:16.319 --> 00:28:18.859
It's<00:28:16.579><c> probably</c><00:28:16.819><c> based</c><00:28:17.259><c> on</c><00:28:17.460><c> the</c><00:28:17.680><c> idea</c><00:28:18.039><c> that</c><00:28:18.339><c> they</c><00:28:18.480><c> are</c><00:28:18.559><c> tending</c>

00:28:20.279 --> 00:28:21.380
I<00:28:20.420><c> don't</c><00:28:20.420><c> think</c><00:28:20.480><c> that's</c><00:28:20.660><c> what</c><00:28:20.759><c> it</c><00:28:20.940><c> means.</c>

00:28:21.380 --> 00:28:25.839

00:28:26.099 --> 00:28:29.319
So<00:28:26.279><c> presbyters</c><00:28:26.700><c> and</c><00:28:26.980><c> bishops</c><00:28:27.380><c> are</c><00:28:28.099><c> the</c><00:28:28.339><c> same.</c>

00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:34.339
The<00:28:30.259><c> question</c><00:28:30.539><c> then</c><00:28:30.799><c> arises,</c><00:28:32.279><c> but</c><00:28:32.720><c> what</c><00:28:33.299><c> distinction</c><00:28:33.940><c> do</c><00:28:34.140><c> we</c>

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:39.440

00:29:07.500 --> 00:29:11.660

00:29:23.880 --> 00:29:26.539
At<00:29:24.099><c> Philippi</c><00:29:24.619><c> there</c><00:29:25.059><c> were</c><00:29:25.259><c> several</c><00:29:25.599><c> people</c><00:29:25.920><c> called</c><00:29:26.240><c> bishops.</c>

00:30:38.059 --> 00:30:41.200
This<00:30:38.259><c> is</c><00:30:38.859><c> how</c><00:30:39.079><c> the</c><00:30:39.299><c> apostles</c><00:30:39.720><c> solved</c><00:30:40.099><c> the</c><00:30:40.339><c> problem.</c>

And<00:35:35.559><c> I</c><00:35:35.659><c> think</c><00:35:36.000><c> we</c><00:35:36.940><c> should</c><00:35:37.119><c> do</c><00:35:37.579><c> the</c><00:35:37.940><c> best</c><00:35:38.099><c> we</c><00:35:38.360><c> can</c><00:35:38.519><c> by</c><00:35:38.900><c> standardizing</c><00:35:39.440><c> on</c><00:35:39.639><c> a</c><00:35:39.719><c> version.</c>

00:35:43.139 --> 00:35:49.460
And<00:35:43.400><c> I</c><00:35:43.679><c> am</c><00:35:44.119><c> not</c><00:35:44.340><c> aware</c><00:35:44.800><c> that</c><00:35:45.019><c> people</c><00:35:45.380><c> memorize</c><00:35:46.000><c> any</c><00:35:46.460><c> other</c><00:35:46.739><c> version</c><00:35:47.360><c> than</c><00:35:48.300><c> the</c><00:35:48.519><c> authorized.</c>

00:36:02.360 --> 00:36:05.380

00:36:11.039 --> 00:36:13.920
Here's<00:36:11.280><c> a</c><00:36:11.420><c> question.</c><00:36:11.860><c> It's</c><00:36:12.039><c> on</c><00:36:12.219><c> reunion,</c><00:36:12.579><c> but</c><00:36:12.719><c> it</c><00:36:13.519><c> mentions</c>

00:36:16.099 --> 00:36:18.079
With<00:36:16.280><c> the</c><00:36:16.539><c> recent</c><00:36:16.800><c> reunion</c><00:36:17.219><c> efforts</c><00:36:17.500><c> in</c><00:36:17.699><c> the</c><00:36:17.840><c> US,</c>

00:36:26.340 --> 00:36:28.960
How<00:36:26.460><c> does</c><00:36:26.739><c> the</c><00:36:27.019><c> AB</c><00:36:27.380><c> respond?</c>

00:36:30.019 --> 00:36:32.679

00:36:34.420 --> 00:36:37.139

00:36:37.699 --> 00:36:41.300
Now,<00:36:38.900><c> that's</c><00:36:39.199><c> a</c><00:36:39.320><c> form</c><00:36:39.440><c> of</c><00:36:39.579><c> blackmail</c><00:36:40.159><c> if</c><00:36:40.679><c> it's</c><00:36:40.820><c> just</c><00:36:41.000><c> put</c><00:36:41.159><c> on</c>

The<00:36:44.420><c> real</c><00:36:44.659><c> thing</c><00:36:44.860><c> is,</c><00:36:45.300><c> why</c><00:36:45.780><c> are</c><00:36:46.099><c> you</c><00:36:46.239><c> going</c><00:36:46.360><c> to</c><00:36:46.579><c> leave?</c>

00:36:48.159 --> 00:36:49.420
What<00:36:48.519><c> are</c><00:36:48.719><c> the</c><00:36:48.840><c> reasons?</c>

00:36:49.420 --> 00:36:53.500

00:36:56.559 --> 00:36:59.179

00:37:03.980 --> 00:37:08.699
Let's<00:37:04.360><c> analyze</c><00:37:04.699><c> it</c><00:37:05.239><c> and</c><00:37:05.559><c> analyze</c><00:37:05.940><c> it</c><00:37:06.340><c> slowly,</c><00:37:06.739><c> step</c><00:37:07.300><c> by</c><00:37:07.639><c> step.</c>

00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:10.000
Doesn't<00:38:09.420><c> necessarily.</c>

00:38:15.500 --> 00:38:18.260
Rightness<00:38:15.960><c> is</c><00:38:16.159><c> what</c><00:38:16.380><c> is</c><00:38:16.679><c> scripturally</c><00:38:17.079><c> true.</c>

00:38:18.559 --> 00:38:20.500

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:37.760
How<00:38:36.099><c> should</c><00:38:36.280><c> examining</c><00:38:36.619><c> brethren</c><00:38:36.920><c> handle</c><00:38:37.159><c> the</c><00:38:37.360><c> case</c><00:38:37.500><c> of</c><00:38:37.639><c> a</c>

00:39:34.179 --> 00:39:35.440

00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:36.320
He<00:39:35.559><c> made</c><00:39:35.719><c> his</c><00:39:35.900><c> own</c><00:39:36.039><c> decision.</c>

And<00:39:40.900><c> he</c><00:39:40.980><c> did</c><00:39:41.139><c> not</c><00:39:41.320><c> seek</c><00:39:41.500><c> baptism</c><00:39:41.860><c> then</c><00:39:42.059><c> until</c><00:39:42.239><c> he</c><00:39:42.360><c> was</c><00:39:42.519><c> 20.</c>

00:39:45.679 --> 00:39:47.920
Now<00:39:45.980><c> during</c><00:39:46.179><c> that</c><00:39:46.400><c> period</c><00:39:46.559><c> of</c><00:39:46.780><c> time</c><00:39:46.900><c> you</c><00:39:47.059><c> can</c><00:39:47.179><c> just</c><00:39:47.420><c> imagine</c>

you've<00:40:53.920><c> got</c><00:40:53.960><c> to</c><00:40:54.059><c> do</c><00:40:54.159><c> it</c><00:40:54.280><c> now.</c>

00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:58.219
We<00:40:56.179><c> should</c><00:40:56.420><c> not</c><00:40:56.679><c> be</c><00:40:56.920><c> put</c><00:40:57.039><c> under</c><00:40:57.420><c> pressure</c><00:40:57.719><c> of</c><00:40:57.920><c> that</c><00:40:58.119><c> kind.</c>

00:40:58.239 --> 00:41:00.539
I<00:40:58.380><c> know</c><00:40:58.679><c> people</c><00:40:59.000><c> want</c><00:40:59.300><c> to</c><00:40:59.460><c> be</c><00:40:59.639><c> baptized</c><00:40:59.960><c> immediately,</c>

00:41:00.820 --> 00:41:02.920
but<00:41:00.960><c> this</c><00:41:01.139><c> often</c><00:41:01.340><c> happens</c><00:41:01.539><c> with</c><00:41:01.739><c> people</c><00:41:02.099><c> who've</c><00:41:02.460><c> been</c><00:41:02.579><c> about</c>

00:41:02.920 --> 00:41:03.940
for<00:41:03.099><c> a</c><00:41:03.239><c> long</c><00:41:03.480><c> time</c>

00:41:03.940 --> 00:41:06.519
and<00:41:04.440><c> they've</c><00:41:04.679><c> suddenly</c><00:41:04.960><c> arrived</c><00:41:05.539><c> at</c><00:41:05.699><c> making</c><00:41:05.920><c> a</c><00:41:06.159><c> decision.</c>

00:41:06.800 --> 00:41:08.820
That<00:41:07.099><c> decision</c><00:41:07.480><c> now</c><00:41:07.760><c> affects</c><00:41:08.039><c> the</c><00:41:08.320><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:41:09.159 --> 00:41:13.000
Therefore<00:41:09.639><c> we</c><00:41:10.280><c> weigh</c><00:41:10.739><c> what</c><00:41:10.980><c> we're</c><00:41:11.219><c> doing</c><00:41:11.480><c> and</c><00:41:11.699><c> make</c><00:41:11.920><c> sure</c><00:41:12.280><c> that</c><00:41:12.460><c> the</c><00:41:12.619><c> person</c>

00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:16.239
is<00:41:13.340><c> not</c><00:41:13.500><c> being</c><00:41:13.760><c> carried</c><00:41:14.000><c> by</c><00:41:14.260><c> emotion</c><00:41:14.659><c> or</c><00:41:14.880><c> some</c><00:41:15.099><c> false</c><00:41:15.699><c> feeling,</c>

00:41:16.539 --> 00:41:19.059
and<00:41:16.739><c> we</c><00:41:16.940><c> take</c><00:41:17.119><c> our</c><00:41:17.340><c> time</c><00:41:17.860><c> with</c><00:41:18.119><c> it.</c>

00:41:19.300 --> 00:41:20.880
So<00:41:19.860><c> we</c><00:41:20.099><c> seek</c><00:41:20.300><c> to</c><00:41:20.579><c> instruct.</c>

00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:23.320
That's<00:41:21.119><c> what</c><00:41:21.239><c> I</c><00:41:21.400><c> would</c><00:41:21.500><c> do</c><00:41:21.579><c> in</c><00:41:21.679><c> this</c><00:41:21.880><c> particular</c><00:41:22.260><c> case.</c>

00:41:24.900 --> 00:41:28.059
Do<00:41:25.139><c> you</c><00:41:25.840><c> feel</c><00:41:26.079><c> that</c><00:41:26.360><c> a</c><00:41:26.380><c> presiding</c><00:41:26.659><c> brother</c><00:41:26.940><c> at</c><00:41:27.079><c> the</c><00:41:27.360><c> memorial</c><00:41:27.780><c> service</c>

00:41:28.059 --> 00:41:34.539
should<00:41:28.320><c> make</c><00:41:28.579><c> mention</c><00:41:29.159><c> of</c><00:41:32.059><c> any</c><00:41:32.460><c> other</c><00:41:32.880><c> than</c><00:41:33.199><c> brethren</c><00:41:33.539><c> and</c><00:41:33.940><c> sisters</c><00:41:34.260><c> in</c>

00:41:34.539 --> 00:41:36.900
his<00:41:34.940><c> opening</c><00:41:35.800><c> greeting?</c>

00:41:37.760 --> 00:41:41.400
Do<00:41:37.920><c> we</c><00:41:38.179><c> say</c><00:41:39.000><c> brethren,</c><00:41:39.880><c> sisters</c><00:41:40.159><c> and</c><00:41:40.460><c> friends</c><00:41:40.960><c> at</c><00:41:41.179><c> our</c>

00:41:43.420 --> 00:41:46.300
My<00:41:43.719><c> answer</c><00:41:43.960><c> is</c><00:41:44.099><c> I</c><00:41:44.159><c> would</c><00:41:44.400><c> not</c><00:41:44.599><c> say</c><00:41:44.800><c> friends</c><00:41:45.159><c> at</c><00:41:45.340><c> the</c><00:41:45.500><c> memorial</c><00:41:45.880><c> service.</c>

00:41:46.300 --> 00:41:50.260
I<00:41:46.980><c> would</c><00:41:48.039><c> address</c><00:41:48.440><c> the</c><00:41:48.760><c> memorial</c><00:41:49.059><c> service.</c>

00:41:51.659 --> 00:41:54.500
It<00:41:51.900><c> just</c><00:41:51.920><c> so</c><00:41:52.079><c> happens</c><00:41:52.179><c> that</c><00:41:52.420><c> in</c><00:41:52.420><c> our</c><00:41:53.119><c> meeting,</c>

00:41:54.559 --> 00:41:57.599

the<00:42:00.920><c> memorial</c><00:42:01.280><c> service.</c>

00:42:02.980 --> 00:42:08.340
If<00:42:03.739><c> there</c><00:42:04.420><c> are</c><00:42:05.159><c> parents</c><00:42:05.840><c> of</c><00:42:06.820><c> somebody</c><00:42:07.099><c> from</c><00:42:07.320><c> outside</c><00:42:08.000><c> who</c><00:42:08.239><c> is</c>

00:42:08.340 --> 00:42:09.860
being<00:42:08.639><c> baptized,</c>

00:42:10.179 --> 00:42:14.340
one<00:42:10.500><c> acknowledges</c><00:42:11.239><c> their</c><00:42:11.559><c> presence</c><00:42:11.940><c> at</c><00:42:12.199><c> an</c><00:42:12.440><c> appropriate</c><00:42:12.820><c> time,</c>

00:42:15.579 --> 00:42:19.420
but<00:42:16.139><c> not</c><00:42:16.699><c> as</c><00:42:17.440><c> part</c><00:42:17.780><c> of</c><00:42:18.019><c> the</c><00:42:18.199><c> memorial</c><00:42:18.639><c> service,</c>

00:42:19.980 --> 00:42:23.699

00:42:23.920 --> 00:42:26.900
So<00:42:24.099><c> I</c><00:42:24.159><c> think</c><00:42:24.280><c> it's</c><00:42:24.420><c> just</c><00:42:24.579><c> a</c><00:42:24.619><c> matter</c><00:42:24.780><c> of</c><00:42:24.880><c> how</c><00:42:25.159><c> we</c><00:42:25.380><c> handle</c><00:42:25.699><c> the</c><00:42:25.820><c> situation.</c>

00:42:27.500 --> 00:42:29.260
We<00:42:27.539><c> don't</c><00:42:27.679><c> want</c><00:42:27.820><c> to</c><00:42:27.840><c> make</c><00:42:27.880><c> people</c><00:42:28.139><c> feel</c><00:42:28.500><c> unwelcome,</c>

00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:33.940
nor<00:42:29.760><c> do</c><00:42:30.179><c> we</c><00:42:30.280><c> want</c><00:42:30.519><c> people</c><00:42:31.079><c> to</c><00:42:31.360><c> feel</c><00:42:31.679><c> that</c><00:42:32.039><c> they're</c><00:42:32.300><c> already</c><00:42:32.679><c> part</c><00:42:33.059><c> of</c>

00:42:33.940 --> 00:42:35.119
the<00:42:34.139><c> ecclesia.</c>

00:42:36.119 --> 00:42:38.900
Just<00:42:36.420><c> a</c><00:42:36.539><c> question</c><00:42:36.820><c> of</c><00:42:37.400><c> making</c><00:42:37.659><c> quite</c><00:42:37.980><c> sure</c><00:42:38.199><c> where</c><00:42:38.340><c> we</c><00:42:38.619><c> stand.</c>

00:42:38.900 --> 00:42:43.619
In<00:42:39.500><c> the</c><00:42:39.739><c> old</c><00:42:39.960><c> days,</c><00:42:41.320><c> our</c><00:42:41.400><c> brethren</c><00:42:41.719><c> had</c><00:42:42.480><c> a</c><00:42:42.780><c> cord</c><00:42:43.019><c> across</c><00:42:43.460><c> the</c>

back<00:42:43.760><c> of</c><00:42:43.880><c> the</c><00:42:43.980><c> meeting</c><00:42:44.199><c> room,</c>

00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:49.019
and<00:42:46.219><c> those</c><00:42:46.420><c> who</c><00:42:46.539><c> were</c><00:42:46.719><c> unbaptized</c><00:42:47.300><c> sat</c><00:42:47.599><c> behind</c><00:42:47.940><c> the</c><00:42:48.199><c> cord.</c>

00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:52.500
That<00:42:50.139><c> was</c><00:42:50.400><c> their</c><00:42:50.599><c> way</c><00:42:50.800><c> of</c><00:42:51.039><c> indicating</c><00:42:51.400><c> things</c><00:42:51.699><c> in</c><00:42:51.880><c> those</c><00:42:52.119><c> days.</c>

00:42:52.699 --> 00:42:58.159
So<00:42:52.880><c> you</c><00:42:53.139><c> see</c><00:42:53.340><c> how</c><00:42:54.139><c> differently</c><00:42:54.480><c> we</c><00:42:55.500><c> look</c><00:42:56.300><c> at</c><00:42:56.519><c> things</c><00:42:56.719><c> these</c><00:42:57.000><c> days.</c>

00:42:58.239 --> 00:43:00.679
Brother<00:42:58.420><c> Thomas,</c><00:42:58.980><c> Brother</c><00:42:59.159><c> Roberts</c><00:42:59.519><c> was</c><00:42:59.760><c> asked,</c><00:43:00.300><c> each</c><00:43:00.539><c> of</c>

00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:01.460
those<00:43:00.860><c> was</c><00:43:01.039><c> asked,</c>

00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:04.659
do<00:43:02.099><c> you</c><00:43:02.360><c> think</c><00:43:02.619><c> that</c><00:43:02.860><c> people</c><00:43:03.059><c> not</c><00:43:03.360><c> baptized</c><00:43:03.900><c> should</c><00:43:04.260><c> attend</c>

00:43:04.659 --> 00:43:05.400
the<00:43:04.860><c> breaking</c><00:43:05.039><c> of</c><00:43:05.280><c> bread?</c>

00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:07.579
And<00:43:05.659><c> both</c><00:43:05.860><c> said,</c><00:43:06.559><c> certainly</c><00:43:06.940><c> they</c><00:43:07.280><c> should.</c>

00:43:07.579 --> 00:43:11.320
They<00:43:08.039><c> are</c><00:43:08.239><c> more</c><00:43:08.579><c> likely</c><00:43:08.880><c> to</c><00:43:09.179><c> discover</c><00:43:09.500><c> great</c><00:43:09.840><c> things</c><00:43:10.380><c> by</c><00:43:10.739><c> attending</c><00:43:11.099><c> the</c>

00:43:11.320 --> 00:43:11.980
breaking<00:43:11.500><c> of</c><00:43:11.780><c> bread,</c>

00:43:12.059 --> 00:43:16.179
and<00:43:12.360><c> who</c><00:43:12.579><c> are</c><00:43:12.780><c> we</c><00:43:13.280><c> to</c><00:43:14.539><c> say</c><00:43:14.760><c> they</c><00:43:14.900><c> should</c><00:43:15.079><c> not</c><00:43:15.280><c> attend?</c>

00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:18.880
But<00:43:16.440><c> then</c><00:43:16.519><c> you</c><00:43:16.659><c> make</c><00:43:16.800><c> the</c><00:43:16.920><c> other</c><00:43:17.059><c> things</c><00:43:17.280><c> plain</c><00:43:17.539><c> to</c><00:43:17.679><c> them,</c>

00:43:19.739 --> 00:43:22.599
which<00:43:19.880><c> I</c><00:43:20.079><c> thought</c><00:43:20.219><c> was</c><00:43:20.380><c> very</c><00:43:20.559><c> good</c><00:43:20.760><c> counsel</c><00:43:21.099><c> as</c><00:43:21.239><c> a</c><00:43:21.300><c> matter</c><00:43:21.500><c> of</c><00:43:21.719><c> fact.</c>

00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:26.440
I've<00:43:24.000><c> got</c><00:43:24.239><c> three</c><00:43:24.900><c> other</c><00:43:25.260><c> questions,</c>

00:45:15.760 --> 00:45:18.079
We've<00:45:15.940><c> had</c><00:45:16.019><c> a</c><00:45:16.139><c> case</c><00:45:16.360><c> of</c><00:45:16.659><c> that</c><00:45:16.840><c> particular</c><00:45:17.159><c> kind.</c>

00:45:18.280 --> 00:45:21.980
