THANK YOU, SL!
I only look at them as brothers.
Good faults, and the bad faults.
I do not look at the glorified picture they have stated- I feel EVERY Christian is a "Faithful & Discreet Slave of God'.
The elders in one congregation wanted to make me an elder, and I freely told them this view. They regretted it, but we were a happy congregation.
I have the greatest respect for their intentions- but not with their policies, nor some of their ridiculous opinions of God's prophecies.
