I beileve that you do have to be an elder to be a trustee, although not all elders are. For instance, if an elder was made bankrupt in business that would disqualify him. There are other reasons why an elder could refuse to be on the board of trustees.

i have never really been in touch with jw until just recently and have a question:.
uk congregations: are the trustees at the same time elders and can a trustee or elder be inactive?.

ok jw teaching aside, can you see a time coming when religon will cease to exist?
by highdose inpossibly this could happen in a dramatic sudden way or a slow burn but can you see the human race progressing to the point were they no longer need to belive in these myths and legends?.

Won't happen but I believe that people holding a religious view will some day be in the minority, this was interesting:
Christianity is slowly, but surely losing ground in England and Wales, according to an official survey yesterday.
The number who declare themselves to be Christian has dropped by nearly 10 per cent in five years, while the number of non-believers is growing.
The state research into race and religion also showed that Christians are less than half as likely to attend a place of worship as followers of other traditions.
The Citizenship Survey showed that Christianity remains the faith of the great majority of the population. But its share dropped from 77 per cent to 70 per cent between 2005 and 2010.
Over the same period the numbers who say they have no religion went up from 15 per cent to 21 per cent.
The findings were published days after David Cameron’s speech on the importance of Christianity to Britain, in which he urged the Church of England and its leader, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to take a lead in restoring moral values.

"See! See? Just as like the bible says! earthquakes are increasing!"
by highdose inwhich is what a dub said to me today.
i would like to come back to him with evidence that they are not.
does anyone have any helpful links they could post to refute this?.

Yes the dubs are going crazy with joy at the thought of the 1000's being killed and having their lives destoryed by the earthquake/ tunsmai.
I'm not and I am still "in" at the moment and I know of many genuine JW's that wont be going crazy. However, these occurrences will cause some to question if there is an increase.

I try my best to sleep in the afternoons(bible on knee-elbow on bible-hand on head) but my wife or one of the kids usually gives me a nudge. At the moment I am going for the "drink a shed-load of alcohol tonight, headache and doze for most of the morning" tactic.
Sadly, my cynicism is becoming apparent here (at home) and there are "falling outs".
