Blaine:  Since I don't seem to recall what church you do belong, to Terry, I can't comment.  However, most churches do have some kind of system determining who is in a position to make decisions.  That is about all I was referring to when I used the word "elite."   As Jesus said, "whosoever is greatest among you, let him be your servant."  Jesus and the apostles--all twelve of them--were the servants of all, and therefore the greatest in the church--and also the decision-makers.  The sealers in the temples are almost all men who have made service to their fellows and to the church a first priority in their lives.  Being a Sealer is a time consuming job, and none ever get any monetary or other kind of  tangible compensation for it-.  They are, basically, volunteers.  And their  records of previous service were built on the same premise--service without compensation.  ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Clifton To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 2004 8:56 PM Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] question   Wow!  All we have is saints. TERRY: Our church does not have a class system. How does one become elite? The whole LDS system is Elitist   The temple is really just Spanky's Club House where some APPROVED people get together to perform Club secrets that just the elite know. So they can feel special and aloof from the crowd, sorta like Spanky's He man woman hater club. In this LDS club everyone can be a president of something, for that ego boost.   I passed that stage when I was about 9 years old, probably earlier, but that was a long time ago.   The club where everyone can be A SOMEbody: The Seventies, who are Area Presidents, Prophets, Seers,Twelve Apostles, stake presidents, bishops, branch presidents, mission presidents, Bishopric (includes Bishop, two Counselor, and a secretary) Elder's Quorum Presidency, Relief Society Presidency, Sunday School Presidency, Single Adult Representative, Young Men's Presidency, Young Women's Presidency, Primary Presidency and secretary, High Priest Group Leader, Teacher Development, Music Chairperson, Ward Clerk, Executive Secretary, Membership Clerk, Finance Clerk, Ward Mission Leader, Ward Missionaries, Ward Librarian, Ward Bulletin Editor   Is there a LOW Priest Group leader?   First Presidency: President and Prophet , 1st Counselor , 2nd Counselor Quorum of the Twelve Apostles "Chain of Command" of the corporation First Presidency Quorum of the Twelve Apostles Area Presidencies Stake Presidency Bishop / Branch President Family (LDS Church Members)   Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Blaine writes: .
