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.
