NEARLY 17 YEAR OLD BOY IS MINISTERIAL SERVANT

minimus

Things must be getting pretty desperate. I just heard some wonderful news of another boy being appointed a ministerial servant. The comment was that even though he is young, he is very mature.Another person, speaking of a different boy being appointed said that he had the added advantage of being home schooled and that really helped him to mature.

Dad an elder by any chance?

That is very young, though I guess not unheard of.

But, honestly, a lot could happen, including his getting a big head over his appointment. Giving a measure of authority to a guy that young could end up being a big mistake.

One was elder's son, the other not.

Dunno, but I'd put money on it..

This arrangement has been in place for perhaps almost 10yrs- i recall 2 twins of a single parent mom who were pioneering they were appointed at 17 in a congo in wash dc-

the whole appointment program of course is a joke- sorta like being a captain or Litineut in someones Drug gang- nice title but the group that has bestowed such a title on you is a joke-

yes wt is trying to fill all those slots that they are finding to be empty by so many good men leaving due to the bogus stuff they teach

I guess it is the small fish in beer glass syndrome.....

*sigh*

Yet another instance of WTS double standards in place. 17 year old kids aren't considered mature enough to *date* (at least in the congs I was in) and yet they are mature enough to have a position of authority. And doncha know, it's so much fun to be a woman, with a few years of experience under one's belt, and have to be directed by someone who is still wet behind the ears.

I knew a kid in my old congregation who was appointed a M.S. by the time he turned 18. He pioneered by the time he left high school, gave his first public talk the same year I think, and last I heard is now serving at Bethel. When I was an active J.W., he hinted that I was an atheist and though I was distributing anti-JW propaganda in the congregation (actually a copy of a talk giving by a member of the governing body). Does anyone hear know Jeff Grieg? His dad was one of the anointed, I wouldn't be surprised if he became a missionary...

Maybe they also think that if they give everyone titles that they won't up and leave ...
