How many elders does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

    Just one but he has to be constantly ready to replace it at a moments notice.

    It should be more like how many JW's. The answer is 8. The elder must ask the circuit overseer, who must contact the district overseer who must contact the branch overseer, who must contact the bethel headquarters, who must ask the GB, who must pass back down to the elder, who will then designate it to a MS, who will then designate it to a publisher reaching out to be a MS.

    It takes only 1 elder to "screw" anything up.

    It takes 100. One to actually change the bulb, but 99 to stand around talking about how great the new light is.

    I guess they never use CFLs or LED bulbs, the light would last too long!

    And, contrary to what the official GB view states, each new lightbulb will be of a lower wattage than the one it replaces, consistent with the observable fact that the 'new' light keeps getting dimmer and dimmer.

    Three.

    One to do it and "two witnesses" to make sure it was done.

    And they might reinsert a lightbulb they took out some years ago, although they will tell you it wasn't.

    I can't remember. When I was a elder I believe we ask

    the MS to do that kind of manual labor. We were the

    princes here on earth. That is what we were told. LOL
