Me too.
No apologies. I never made anybody feel guilty for not doing more and wasn't the judgemental sort.
Just out of curiosity, how many elders (current & ex) do we have here?

I was an elder for 12 years. I stepped down in 1996 and never looked back.

I was an elder for 3 years((2010-2013), MS for 4 years before that(2006-2010) but I was MS even before that(1999-2001) I agree that becoming an elder really showed how human the org is. I didn't see any holy spirit or Gods' hand operating at all. Just a lot of procedures, rules, and following letters from the org; not even that much following the Bible. I'm still halfway in for the wife but mentally out and hopefully I can find a way to get physically out with her. We still make about 25% of the meetings. But thats a big change from being an elder and busy in the org just since Feb.

Elder for ten years or so. Stepped down (hate that term, implies an elevated status) a few years ago, I too didn't realise it would lead to fading and posting on an APOSTATE website! Still in though. Boooo.

Am I the only currently serving elder on here?

I'm currently "serving" as an elder.

Blondie: I like your comment. Its true that elders meetings are a REAL EYEOPENER.
If you have attended one, then you KNOW there is no love between them.

That would be a good topic: "How many are CURRENTLY serving as elders and post here?"
