well Mike, I missed the boat on this one....I will never be an elder...so how do I feel about this loss?
I was a full time pioneer; ministerial servant; assistant book servant....but not an elder
Dad was an elder. Before the elder arrangement he held no position. So, I suppose we were not such JW hotshots.
I suppose if I had not "turned my back on Jehovah" ; I would have most likely been the youngest elder in the county. But dang! I could not resist the worldly temptation! I invited Satan in !
"...dreaming of that eldership....." What a bad dream.
