  the meetings are getting more boring to me.

  some of the elders during their parts just talk and talk and talk about uninteresting things.

  boring, boring.

  a customer on my route with whom i have had some lively debates was his number 1 complaint is that "the witnesses have so many rules".

  Former Long Time Elder - Judicial Committees

  by James Jackson in

  when i first was appointed as an elder, i could not wait to be on a judicial committee.

  it semed like most hearings invovled middle age men and women cheating on their mates because either they had married early or felt that were being neglected by their mate.

  most times i felt i need to take a long hot shower after a hearing.. the toughest part was seeing these sweet young children grow up in "the truth", and now you are about to judge their future based on their repentance.

  Former Long Time Elder, Part 4

  an elderly brother came up to me the other day and said: "you are a true christian"!

  i asked him what he meant by that and he said because i "really care about the older ones in the congregation".

  he went on to say that the elders and pioneers are so busy, they have to "get their time in the field service", no time left to check on the the older ones.
