Hi Core. So you were a PO. That's why you could get away with bringing down a spiritual snob and then have them thank you. Are you presently involved or are you totally out?

Yes I am now out but dealing with the SNOBS was not easier by being PO. You have to understand that most SNOBs or their wives covet the position ( I dont know why!) as they mistake the position of service as a position of authority. Most SNOBS I knew worked hard to undermine me at every turn as they wanted those 'in the centre' to be in a spiritual clique of superiority which I could not agree with. Elders are in place to look after the brothers - SNOBS view the brothers as a herd, not a flock, over which they can show their authority, real or imagined, by word and deed.
When you have to put a SNOB in place you need to hit the nerve which reaches the brain - their authority, standing etc - SNOBS hate having complaints made to COs about them - it hits right at the centre of the clique mentality.

I think I was one of the snobs. So I reacted to myself with much phony love.

Snobs view the brothers as a herd, not a flock....Alot of elders and other "mature" ones think that they are doing a service to the herd by constantly berating them or punishing......Don't you just love a self-absorbed snob? Dragon, I loved that comment, "So I reacted to myself with much phony love". That's a classic.
