Thank you. Fader 77 as in the year of my birth. Not 1877 lol. The money grab is not unexpected. The cong Im with will donate $400 for 57 pubs. I seriously doubt theyll come down to tithing. Just guilting.
Im an elder working on a masters degree. Ive told lots of the pubs, and even the CO. No response yet. I love pushing the education envelope :) I do because they have absolutely no scriptural basis for it lol

No need to apologize. And yes I have a sense of humor lol. I just wanted to make it clear I'm not one to pass on unverified stuff right off the bat to everyone here.

nice to meet everyone here. A word of advice to a few of you that seemed skeptical. Don't doubt me till I give you reason to do so. Not to be rude, but if you do I will stop providing information.

TO ALL BODIES OF ELDERS
Re: Coordinator of the body of elders
Dear Brothers:
The Governing Body appreciates the fine brothers who serve as congregation elders and
the work they do in advancing Kingdom interests. Many elders have served in this capacity for
decades, and we benefit from their wisdom and fine example of faith and loyalty in caring for
Jehovah’s sheep.—Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2, 3.
As the organization continues to expand, there is a need for more brothers to reach out
and a need for those who now serve as elders to take on more responsibility. To assist in this effort,
the Governing Body has decided that, effective September 1, 2014, brothers who are 80
years of age or older will no longer serve as a coordinator of the body of elders. Of course, a coordinator
of the body of elders who is not yet 80 years of age might also modestly decide that it
would now be best to have another brother take on this role.—Mic. 6:8.
If, in view of the foregoing, it will be necessary to recommend a change in the brother
serving as the coordinator of the body of elders, this matter should be given due consideration at
an upcoming elders’ meeting. If the next visit of the circuit overseer to your congregation will
not be until after September 1, the recommendation could be held until his visit.— ks10 chap. 2
par. 13.
In the Shepherding textbook, chapter 2, paragraph 11, after the first sentence, each elder
should insert “He must be less than 80 years of age.”
We thank you for your loyal support of these theocratic refinements. (Isa. 60:17; Rev.
1:20) Please accept an expression of our warm Christian love.
Your brothers,
