    He's just stepped into quicksand.

    I'm not sure congratulations are in order.

    This may be good- getting involved with congregation politics, in my observation it can help them wake up.

    ...or they get that Elder-Zombie saliva on them and soon they start hissing...

    MS is just an elder's whipping boy. I didn't see really any of the political machinations until I was appointed an elder, that was the real wake up call.

    It is also a way to give a man a fake title so he feels even moore obligated to stick around when he might rather be out fishing (for fish, not suckers, although catfish and cod are both good eats).

    It's a diabolical ego-trap, is what it is.

    LOL @ elder whipping boy. I'm afraid thats what my father is about to be. He's really nervous and wants to do a good job.

    Give him a vintage gift copy of the 'millions now living will never die' booklet - 1920. Seriously, though, he'll di fine. Ms isn't that tough of a job.
