ANST - Proteges

[jonwillowpel at juno.com]

I do see that these Proteges have done well. But something  bothers me.
Should not peers ,especially those who are "movers and shakers", be
teaching every  possible "mover and shaker" not just those we take as
proteges? It is very easy to set up a circle of people you teach and
never go out of that circle. Everyday there are people coming into to the
Kingdom that have the potential to build great things or do great harm.
Many of these people are very  independent and don't like taking a junior
role. For the good of our kingdom these people need information as soon
as possible. Not having official proteges kept our information open to
everyone but having proteges gives the impression that information will
only be shared with those who pay a price.
