Elders are the secret weapon who will guide the flock through troubling times ahead?

Oh this is rich....

I have been watching the elder pool in our local area dry up both in quanity and quality.

First there was a split. 5 elders for each Hall.

Now all the original elders have moved away or been removed except 2. New elders have been brought in for a grand total of 8 shared between the two Halls.

One Hall has dwindled to the size of a book study (approx 45 people peak attendance).

Of the 8 elders, one is an alcoholic who relapses occasionally. Two others take anxiety meds and are either hyper or zombie like, depending.

3 others are brand new and were appointed out of desperation. One is barely able to read and the best thing that can be said about him as far as qualifications is that he is very "friendly" to all.

Also, between the 2 halls there have been 5 elders who have rotated through the COBE position because they just dont want it in just over two years.

It has all just become a joke.

Impressions of the Governing Body; who's smart, who ain't?

by Room 215 in

based on what we've seen, it seems to me that of the seven, splane and jackson are the smartest; herd, lett and morris the least intelligent; and sanderson and losch somewhere in the middle.

.

what's your impression?.

Good question.

I think to measure actual intelligence quotient, you would have to see who they were when they were very small - as in young - in character they are still small.

The reason I say that is because unfortunately, there is a big difference in being intelligent and using that for good.

Add to that, the fact that their indoctrination has been plowed deeply in to their consciousness by the constant reinforcement that they are a little earthly representation of God and there you have it. That is what we see before us.

So who could know which of them could be (is) synapsing at a more appreciable rate than the measurable average?

meleti has not been wrong so far.

have a read of his last post on a wt study this week past.

Thanks Splash. I read it no problem.

I love his reasoning. It is dead on and he puts in to words all the things that have been whirling around in my brain much better than I could have.
