Here's a link to a quote posted on the SilentLambs site:

"Both Brown and Moreno said that the elders, who volunteer and are essentially untrained clergy..."
Misters Brown (J.R. Brown, public affairs director, WTB&TS) and Moreno (Mario Moreno, associate general counsel, WTB&TS) are Watchtower officials. I wonder what effect their comment might have on future attempts to gain recognition from government authorities as "ministers."
