B_DeserterSingle Ministerial Servants and Elders...


I'm sure this has been touched on before, but I just thought about it tonight. I was thinking about the appointment of Ministerial Servants (Deacons) and Elders (Bishops) in the Kingdom Hall. The Watchtower Society runs down the list of requirements in Acts, that they must be good examples, pure, etc. They apply all of these requirements, except one: marriage. Single elders are quite rare, and I'm not sure if it's even possible to have a single elder nowadays, but you see unmarried ministerial servants all the time. In fact, for a lot of witness females, it's a pre-requisite for marriage. Has anyone ever asked their elders about this? How does the borg justify this blatant violation of scripture?
