The BDH Index – Guide to all things Brethren

The Little Red Book published in the 1960’s was the infamous pocket, party-line almanac for Chinese people and was a series of quotations and directions on a huge list of subjects from Mao Tse-Tung.

The Little White Book is Bruce Hales version -and it follows the concept of Mao’s tome almost exactly. But, never one to do things by halves,  the Halesian version has overtaken its Red counterpart – both in size and content. Not only do we have to deal with personal behavioral, civic and business issues, but also matters pertaining to history. Especially history relating to John Hales. And Jim Taylor. The Aberdeen section alone is a marathon read of reversals and nose thumbing at Taylor detractors.

At something like 1000 pages it’s a big read for any Peeb. A ponderous double volume on every subject the great one one can think up.  Basically if you have a query on some element of history or Peeb rule, you simply go to your blandly named ‘BDH Index’ – and scan through the alphabetical pages of answers. Easy!

(Copyright for this voluminous publication is acknowledged to the Gospel and Bible Trust people whom I also give credit to for simply typing the thing up. Ah- the blessing of computers!)
(What a pity that some opposers found this out before they were allowed to.)

So let’s take a random subject. Anyone? Ah – ABERDEEN – yes. That perennial bugbear topic that seems to raise the ire of you opposers. Bruce has a whole section for Opposers.
“Opposers- nit picking people – repentance is denied them by God”  Worse- we are “persons that really want sympathy for their Godlessness, they know they’re wrong.”

So there you have it. And if you are thinking of writing to him please don’t use the Lord’s name. That really riles him.

But back to Aberdeen -that mother of all matters after the 1965 matter -which I am still reading up on. Here’s Bruce’s determinations on Aberdeen.

For a start you guys – you opposers are wrong. You got it wrong then and you’ve got it wrong now.

(JT Jnr) “was allowed to fall into the hands of wicked men. He wasn’t protected.”
‘they filled him up with drugs, would have murdered him’.
“He wasn’t protected; an awful position he was thrown into”
“The Lord wouldn’t allow his servant to fail’
“Intelligent stupid people, caught up in the stupidist rumour, vicious lies against our Beloved.”
“No possibility of a response in the fleshly connection;they were trying to judge JTJnr by their own stupid wickedness”
“They” (I’m presuming this is us) “just can’t get over it, stone of stumbling; it wounds our spirits, but it doesn’t alter our convictions”
“Many prominent persons exposed there; beyond redemption, crisis continued and is still on today”
“Young people don’t really need to really understand”
And as a final word- “The bigger the lie, the more they are going to believe it”

Where a naked Mrs Ker falls into this equation I’m not quite sure because Bruce says under the subject of marriage that ‘you’ve one wife, and you don’t love anybody else’s’. Fair enough.

Now I warn you in advance – don’t even start him on Apostacy. He has loads to say about apostates.

Accidents are not accidents he says. “Break a bone, ankle, leg; Lord is speaking, not at accident at all.”

And if God speaks to you big time and it results in your demise, you better hope big time that you don’t require an autopsy. Bruce does not like autopsies it seems.

“Autopsies are humiliating; pathologists would see the effect of lawlessness in the organs.” (I’m presuming here that he is talking about cirrhosis of the liver etc. )

Look folks- I’d love to read more to you but this thing is worthy of thesis status. A big read – and I -possessing only the limited brain power of an opposer – a nit picker – can only take in so much at any one time. However- other installments will be coming where we show you lot the error of your ways as you seek ‘sympathy’ for the evil that has befallen you all in this wretched place you find yourself in.

Bruce gives rules guys- not sympathy. Get with the program!
