WOW! This was an eye-opener.
In the 3 Congs that I (born-in) served as an elder there were:
20 Elders
15 Converts
5 Born-In
There had been several more Born-Ins but they all left or were "demoted" for one reason or another.
The older guys are all converts. All the born ins are mostly younger guys, which tells me the born-ins are not hanging around or if they are, they aren't putting up with all the BS it takes to "serve" as an Elder.
