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. 
 
Thank you Blaine.  I figured it was something like that.
