Nor would it be helpful to allow Home Teaching to be directed the way you suggest. There would be no friendships created, only slaves to the Spirit. That is not God's plan.

Shocked "SLAVES to the Spirit"? I'm trying to figure out if I'm misunderstanding what you are saying here. We are SUPPOSED to be utterly reliant upon the Spirit and learn to rely ENTIRELY upon the direction of the Spirit. That IS God's plan. How is it even possible to be a "slave to the Spirit"?

And as an aside, I testify that my deepest and truest friendships are those that have been brought together by the spirit and NOT by the hand of man - certainly not any that were assigned to me.
