And there's a lot of old statements regarding church policy and management from Apostles in official settings, which are based on sound principles, but the application of those principles may be different in our day.
Especially since there have been at least 3 major revisions to the handbook since then – 1998, 2010, and 2020 – and a lot of official communication letters.
