Only purpose for having it was to be able to say it existed, IMO. Buncha yes sir men that had hardly anything to say at all, especially if it was anything conflicting with the mindset of the pastor.( I realize of course, it's nit that way everywhere.) I decided I wanted no part of that, and just baled. The yearly gift of a pocket knife or something, was not worth the guilt I had for being part it . Some of those guys set thru years of entire (only annual) meetings without saying a word at all, unless called on for an opinion, and then some of them wouldn't say anything yay or nay. Is that the revs fault? He put'm there, not the church, they should've been elected by the church annuallly at the least anyway, IMO.

Yea, I'm sure that happens.
